Appeal finally filed!



Recommended Posts

So after being so disappointed with my insurance company denying my revision surgery, i got some much needed support from my advocate. She reassured me that we would find a way to get it approved. She also had me write a plea letter and has sent out all the information needed for appeal. I am praying that the decision is overturned and that ill be having surgery soon. The pain from this band is sometimes more than i can take and i struggle with it everyday. For now, i will try to continue to look on the bright side and know that this fight is not over yet!

@@Kiki1313, thank you so much for the kind words. i have learned so much from all of the folks on this site. I like to give back!

If there is one thing needed for success after WLS it is a positive attitude and a lot of encouragement from your family and friends. I think to think the folks on here are like family and they all certainly understand what we are going through.

I hope it works out for you.... Have you had all the Fluid removed from your band? This is the only thing that helped me.

      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

      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! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
