I have BCBS of NJ but haven't submitted to the insurance company yet. I see the doctor on 10/1/14 and am hoping they submit to the insurance company right after that. I will keep you posted.

I can say that I didn't have a problem being approved with the band and another surgery to fix the band.

I'll keep you posted on my progress.

I just have severe heart burn and of course the usual food getting stuck. Not a lot compared to some people. But I'm not losing weight either. In fact I lost 80 and gained back 30, so I need to get the sleeve soon. I have lost 20 lbs since July, but it sure hasn't been easy.

What problems are you having?

The doctor is submitting my paperwork to the insurance company the week of 10/6. So hopefully within a month I will know something.

My doctor is in Illinois. I live in Iowa and work in Iowa but my insurance is BCBS of NJ because my employer is based out of NJ.

I got approved! I ended up having to switch doctors and my paperwork got lost, but once the paperwork was submitted to the insurance company it only took a week and a halt to get approved!

How are things going with you?

      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?

      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
