No six month diet for me-just a nutrition appt, psych eval, two year weight history, and pre/post op counseling. My doc submitted to insurance and got approved in less than 24 hours! I have surgery on 7/18! Which state do you have Anthem through? Mine is WI.

When did you ask your doctor abbott weight loss surgery ?

I just found out out about this 3 weeks ago (with KAISER)

Now I have Blue Across :)) I'M SO HAPPY!!!!

I have to start the process with ANTHEM BLUE CROSS :))

I just wonder how long things will be .... I see my first PCP Aug 8. I'm excited to meet my new (first) doctor with ANTHEM :))

My approval came from Anthem of Cali. No 6 month is supervised diet for me. Just psych eval, nutrition consult, endoscopy, esophageal manometry and proof of last physical exam within the yr before they submitted to insurance.

      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! 😞
