Looking for a " Dear God let me get approved" Pal



Recommended Posts

I completely get where your coming from ! I am in the same position. I go for my psych eval on the 27th and then my final appt on nov 5th. I am also very anxious about insurance approval. I feel this is the best choice for me and I am willing to change everything. I just need the help. so fingers crossed for your approval !! and I'm certainly crossing them for mine !! good luck !!

My Dr. sent my paper work over a week ago. I called BCN and they had still not gotten it and it was not even in their system. I call my Dr. and she called them and found out they are having a hard time inputting everything in their NEW computer system. Anyway, I hope they will give me a answer this coming up week.

If you have BCN you may want to check on your status.

. UGH!!!!!

I am lucky I guess. I have been working with my Dr. for losing weight for a long time. I finally said F-IT and went to see the WLS Dr. Mid Sept because I was fed up! I had all my appointments done within two weeks. I had to wait 2 more weeks (about) for my Insurance to say okay. So I only had one month from deciding I wanted this surgery to Approval. I think that is one reason I am a bit freaked out. I had done my 6 months of dieting before I even thought about WLS. they are saying that the surgery is about 3 weeks out.

      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! 😞
