Are you sure your going to be denied? Is that what your NUT said? Don't worry yet, get back on track and move forward. It may just mean waiting another month or two, but don't get discouraged. Think positive Boo..............

Be encouraged when I first weighed in I was at 232. At my 1st nutritional visit I was at 236. I asked the same question and boy was I scared. I have Aetna and she just told me be sure not gain anymore weight. I have my 2nd nutritional visit on Wednesday and I am praying that I have not gained anything by there scales. U should be ok. Check with the insurance company and see what your limits are. Good Luck

I have bcbs federal (standard option) and had my surgery July 2013. I lost initially during the preop stage but then gained a few pounds of it back. I did not have any problems with approval. I lost during my 2 week liquid diet. My surgeon's office told me if I gained during that stage they may extend the liquid diet. Good luck with your journey.

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
