July 22nd is the big day!



Recommended Posts

I had my information submitted to the insurance company on Monday 6/10 and I called them on Friday and it had already been approved. I'm scheduled to be sleeved on 7/22. Excited and nervous all at the same time. I don't think it's completely soaked in yet that this is really happening!!!

My preop starts on 7/12....My best friend is also getting sleeved next Monday, she's been on pre-op diet sine Friday. We work together so I'm trying to kind of stick with her now during the day and just eating a salad or sandwhich or something in the evenings. Hopefully it will make it somewhat easier when the 12th gets here! Best of luck to you!!!

I have Anthem BCBS. Couldn't have asked for a better outcome, I've actually started this process two other times with different insurance companies...I have to say this was by far much easier than I anticipated.

YAAYY! Thats my insurance company!! I will have all of my paperwork submitted tomorrow. I see the nutritionist and the psychiatrist tomorrow and that is all I need. Do you mind sharing me what your starting weight and BMI was. Did you have any other comorbidies? What were they? I am praying all goes well.

I also have Anthem BCBS I started out 318 lbs 5'3 and I have severe sleep apnea no other comorbidies besides bad knees and hips. I started my journey in Dec and now weigh 300 . I could have had my surgery in June but had already planned my vacation and my husbands in July . It was honestly much easier then I thought it would be and they are great!

Hi Tana - My starting weight was 277.8 wth a BMI of 47. Luckily I don't have anything else at this point, no high bp, no high cholesterol or anything...very heathy for a fat chick! :) I'll be praying for you too.....I know all will be just fine! Good luck to you!!!

That is so nice to have someone to do this with. I start my preop on the 10th of July, I am more nervous about that then the actual operation. Good luck to you too!!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
