I have Medco, and I just submitted. I'll let you guys know if it works. (Since I haven't see anyone mention Medco for prescription coverage)

I have Medco for my prescription coverage (blue cross for health) and they covered it for me! I got shakes Vitamins and scar cream

They will call you and let you know as soon as your insurance informs them.

I missed a call from them last night saying they were faxing my surgeon the scripts...does this mean they are covered??? They did say we have a couple questions also so give us a call back. I'm preparing to drive to NH for a funeral so I didn't call yet! I hope that first step contacting my doc was a positive sign!

Sorry no it doesn't mean you are covered. They have to get the signed script to send to your insurance company for approval.

Fingers crossed. They called today to say they were faxing my surgeon. She said as soon as they find out something they will call me back.

She asked if I was interested in the scar cream. So she has me down for premier shakes, Vitamins and scar cream. I hope it helps with my stretch marks too. Lol

Nice

I got a call yesterday that they are starting the process...but from what was mentioned here, it doesn't bode well for me that I have BC/BS :(

I haven't received any contact from them regarding my request. :( Looks like everyone else is getting pretty timely contact from them though.

      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! 😞
