Hi, I'm in west seattle.. Alki area. I have group health. I'm 23 years old. My current bmi is 43 and I am waiting for a yes from my doctors.

Anyone else with group Heath or know any one who is? GH is being quiet difficult.. Not impossible but deffinetly difficult.

I had group health with a plan that specifically wouldn't cover any bariatric surgeries... not very helpful, sadly. It was a county employee plan. I had to private pay, ultimately. Sounds like you have a better plan - hope you were approved!!

It is covered but under strict rules, most of which I am covered on. It's a close but no cigar sorta situation. The one thing I don't have is the one thing I'm trying to avoid by using the surgery as a tool.

Very annoying. Still waiting to hear back.

I am consulting with Dr Landerholm on Thursday, May I ask are you selfpay? If you are, do you know if they use BLIS or a similar self pay complication insurance policy?

I am not a self pay, sorry. I can't imagine what it would cost without insurance! But on the other hand we'll do what's necessary to finally be the healthier person we want to be :-)

How are you feeling? I had to stay overnight due to my (now cured!) sleep apnea and loved the TLC I got there!

I'm feeling pretty good, they fixed my hernia too, now I'm all full of staples! Lol, it's been kinda hard to get the Fluid amount bc every time I take a sip my tummy cramps up real bad, they said its normal though.

That's great that it cured your sleep apnea! How are you feeling now?

I didn't see any profile pics, maybe I'm not going to the right spot or something or maybe I'm just pain meds lol.

      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?
