Hi Tammy... it was very easy to get approved. I have a PPO from Horizon BC/BS, it all depends on what plan you have as well. My suregons office know exactly what to do to get approved. It all depends on your surgeon and what they require. I first had to go to a class, after the class, if you were interested in having surgery you booked a consult appointment with the surgeon, at the consult I discussed the 3 different opitons, RNY, lapband and sleeve. Once you decide on which one you want then he makes a list of things you need to have done before surgery and things you need for insurance submission. There is testing involved depending on how much you have to loose and your overall health. I needed a colonoscopy, endoscopy, sleep apena test along with the standard neutritional classes and pysc. evaluation. Once you have the items completed for insurance submission at that point the insurance coordinator at my surgeons office submits everything to your insurance compnay. It took 4 days for a response from mine. Other insurance companyies require a 6 month supervised diet etc. I was lucky that I didn not have to have that. My BMI was 37 with high B/P and high cholestrol.

      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.

      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!!
