I have the Humana Silver PPO Plan/MS. I was told that my Insurance wouldn't cover my VSG. I spoke with my PCP about this and he let them know that's it's a medical necessity, for me to have WLS. I'm 44 years old, my height is 4'11, my weight is 279 and my BMI is 56.4. They told me that in September 15, 2015 a doctor called in saying that I needed surgery that I have never heard of. I'm in a ball of confusion. The Bariatric Coordinator, with actual surgeon who I'd like to do my surgery called them on yesterday. Humana had them to verify codes, the hospital, etc and said they'd let them know of a decision early on next week. Jesus, took the wheel a long time ago, but I'm not giving up!

Humana is very good at approving as long as you've met all of their requirements. They don't play games like some insurance companies (Aetna!!!).

      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! 😞
