I have BCBS and have met all requirements. How long is it taking ppl to get approved? My Doc said 48-72 hours???? If he is like the Docs I work for he has no real idea!

I also have bcbs but of Illinois. It took 17 very long days for my approval. Good luck my new life began today!

Tomorrow (11/5) is my day!! Wish I could say I aced the clear liquid diet but I've cheated...a lot! Getting super nervous. Not so much about the surgery itself but about me failing my sleeve. Donuts....cookies....candy....cake.... Some days I wouldn't eat if not for those things. I hope I can do this. See u on the other side!

11/8 is going to be here before I know. I'm so afraid that I will regret this. Mainly because of what I think society feels about having the surgery. I'm afraid I still will want to eat crappy food in 2 years from now. My mind is going crazy. I don't want to feel ashamed for having the surgery but I already feel it a little. watch the biggest loser and I feel that somehow I should be able to. I've done it twice in the past with exercise and diet but I just don't have it in me. I'm obviously going through with it but just trying to work it all out in my head still. Vent over.

I feel the same way you do Tammy. I fear the issues with my head more than stomach hunger. I am hoping that 2 years from now I can be in control naturally and not want to eat anything that isn't completely beneficial to my body.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

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

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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?
