Recommended Posts

I have two questions. One for those of you who have at surgery, after insurance what was your total out of pocket. Just trying to get an Idea on how much I will have to pay out of pocket after insurance pays? Second... What is Anthems requirements and are they hard to get approved?

Call your insurance company directly to get the best info on requirements. I got a copy of mine online. You will get hundreds of different responses on out of pocket costs as insurance varies,deductibles, vary, surgeon costs vary, hospital stays vary, and hospital costs vary.

Anyone in oregon that got wls covered by united Heath care? Oregon , thus far is not one of the states that is now mandated to cover but I have heard with appeals and red tape, it is a possibility if it's medically necessary. Would love to hear anyone who has personal experience with uhc.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
