Who is your provider? I'm in Hou, TX and waiting for an approval for blue cross blue shield AL and I'm hoping I won't have to do an appeal!!! I hate the waiting game! (I'm doing a revision)

The liquid diet isn't too bad. I have my good and bad days. I'm only on day 7 and I have 7 more to go. I think the problem is I'm used to snacking. I've come too far to mess up now.

I have the same insurance. I had no problem. When my doctors office faxed all of the paperwork I got my approval like 3 days later.

Cigna was mine and it was not easy but my denial was a mistake on my doctors behalf they missed paperwork so of course since it was denied I had to appeal it the two weeks later it was approved

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
