You must be one of the lucky ones that doesn't have to meet the insurance companies requirements! Even with several co morbidities, and a back that needs surgery, I HAD to wait my 6 months! Wish they would come up with a better system!

I would think so too but we are such a small company that we don't even have FMLA. I think they can get by with this stuff because they're so small.

You should look for a new job while you're off :) new beginnings after all.. lol

I guess between my endocrine and sleep ap doc's labs and notes from the past three years, plus all the surgeries must of did a favor for me. I just had another mri on my back and may be facing another back surgery. I thought for sure anthem would say i needed a six month diet.

I have anthem as well! I guess they may have approved me early, but my surgeon is against submitting early. They want to have everything the insurance requires in order, so the chances of quick approval are better. Make sense I guess, even tho the waiting sucks!

Like i said I'm just amazed it was so fast. Because they were jerks when i needed my last back surgery. Plus my husbands employer took wls off the policy last year and added it back on this year.

I'm having surgery for health reasons mostly and then second too get my life back and be active and not so self conscious. My third reason is to find a new job. Be kind to your insurance people because they don't like it either... I work in insurance, but not regular healthcare and it sucks. Insurance is one of the most stressful jobs there is...

Well I started in November and my doc gave me a surgery date of April 29. I still need pulmonary clearance (3/20) and have to see the heart care group (3/28) and psych eval (4/5). They will submit to the insurance on 4/10 after my last weigh in and appt with doc. Starting to get nervous, mostly about the first few weeks post-op.

Good luck everyone!

      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.

      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! 😞
