OK... I'm super excited. I sent in all my paperwork on Friday. My patient navigator was on vacation until today. She submitted my paperwork at 10:30 today and called me at 11:45 am and tells me I was approved by BCBS. Now I'm waiting to schedule everything. Did not realize it would go this smooth. I was terrified at first but now I feel like this is all God's plan. Yay me!!

Wonderful!! I hear BCBS is a lot smoother to deal with than most other insurance companies. AETNA made me resubmit three times! and they still had a coverage cap! GO YOU! good luck with everything :lol:

That's wonderful! congratulations! What BCBS do you have? I have BCBS-MI thru GM and have to do a 6 month supervised documented diet. I have until July/August before they submit. I hope they do the same thing. How awesome for you!

No I did not. Just needed to see Nut, letter of recommendation and Psychiatrist.

Oh good Tiffany4fit - we can keep each other company. It seems like it will be forever, however - everyone says it flies by fast. Plus, we can learn all the tips like chewing slowly, drinking without a straw, eating Protein first, and then we'll be set when the surgery gets here. I'm creating a monthly task plan to not get so anxious. It's difficult, but I am excited! Congrats everyone else on your surgery dates! I can't wait to post mine!

      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! 😞
