OMG!!!!! I just got the call from fidelis! This is sooooooo surreal to me! I seriously did NOT think I would get approved. It took me less than ONE month to complete all the requirements before my surgeons office would submit the paperwork, and I've only had this insurance since NOvember 1st. I thought for sure they would deny me and request more time or more health records, BUT NOPE!!!!!!!

I can't even believe this!!!!!!

Wow that is awesome. WHat were your requirements. I'm going to ask that they submit mine early but Aetnas policy is 3 months. If I get denied at least I'll know if there is anything else that is required of me. Congrats!!!

I had to get a cardiac and pulmonologist clearance, they included an echocardiogram and a stress test and a breathing test. a psych eval, barium swallow, and go to one support group meeting.

I luckily didn't need to do any supervised dieting.

@@cryssyd3 Do you have a date yet?

I thought it was 11/25. But apparently that was just a dummy date or the purpose of paperwork. I'm waiting on a call back from the scheduler now

      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! 😞
