I have Blue Cross Mediblue Select through Medicare

I also have this Mediblue through medicare and i was wondering if this is who you had when they approved your sleeve? I have this now in NY but they are withdrawing as of 12/31/13 and Im hoping to get everything done before this!!! I need a band to sleeve revision due to complications from the band :(

Keeping my fingers crossed...congrats on your whole journey :)

Actually my sleeve was paid for by a managed Medicaid plan, before I got Medicare.

Congrats! Was it painful?

No where near as painful as I imagined it would be. I thought I would be VERY debilitated for a while. Slow and stiff, but not too bad. ALL worth it!!

I'm 1 month post, and feeling 99% back to normal. Recovery has been so much easier than I expected. Most of the swelling is gone, still wearing bodysuit for another 2-3 months, to help with healing. Wearing my size 1's, waiting to get back into my 0-00's. Will post updated pics.

      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! 😞
