ARE THERE ANY OCTOBER/NOVEMBER 2015 SLEEVERS OUT THERE?



Recommended Posts

I went for what was supposed to be diet visit #4 yesterday. I've lost ten lbs since intake (yay!!). The NP asked about visiting another Dr for any reason. I told her about visiting UrgentCare in April for a vicious ear infection. She's going to try to get those records and slide it through so all I would need is one more diet visit and my group nutrition class and I'll be having surgery NEXT MONTH instead of Oct/Nov.

If she does get it approved, this surgery just became very real all the sudden!! I'm kinda terrified but was smiling so big it hurt. So many mixed emotions all the sudden. It's so weird!

I'm hoping end of October or November. Insurance requirements of 6 month diet. Almost done with the 5th month. I just haven't really lost much weight and hope I get approved. Gained one pound at month three. BCBS is my insurance. Fingers crossed. I wouldn't mind joining the FB Fall sleevers 2015. Good luck to everyone.

Boo girl, I did add you. Did you not get the email invite? In spam, maybe?! It won't let me invite you again. If you want, I can add you as my friend on FB and then add you that way?

Is the page called "Fall 2015 Sleevers"? I believe I got your invite, but just can't seem to find the page now. Thanks!

I'm also looking tentatively for October 2015! I have BCBS and am almost done with my 6(7) months supervised w my PCP. 7th visit is 9/10/15. I've already completed my EGD, psych and fitness evaluation, dietician consult. Scheduled to follow up w my surgeon 9/18/15 and hopefully get scheduled soon after! I'm in Tampa Florida, and would love to make new friends with people going through the same thing!

I'm 28, recently divorced, single mother of one awesome little boy who just started kindergarten today! Looking forward to the next year and changes to come.

B

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!
