The surgeons office called me and said bcbs of illinois denied me. Said i need proof that medication is not controlling high blood pressure or my high cholesterol. So i called my family dr. and having her fax over my medical records so the surgeons office can re-submit it to insurance again. Last blood work my total cholesterol was 201 with medication and my blood pressure has been a bit on the high side with medication. I'm really worried this is all coming to an end for me :(

Yikes! That is scary. My blood pressure is controlled with the meds (now that they added another) but I would think in the long run it would save them to pay for this now rather than medication & tests for the rest of your life.

That is very scary. I wish you the best and I hope they reconsider with the info from your doc.

You'll be OK. Have faith. The insurance companies like to torture us a bit but for the most part, it all works out. Hang in there!

Thanks ya'll....i'm just so in the dumps today :/....My hopes were so high on getting approved. I just don't know what to think. The surgeons office is going to submit it again after she gets my medical info from my primary doctor.

      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! 😞
