I was approved in 2 days once my insurance received all documents they required. I have a nurse with the insurance company. She is the one who called me with approval. Waiting to hear from doctors office with great hopes we can schedule in 2015. If not I will have to start all over with a new plan with higher deducts. Since I learned yesterday my plan will no longer be offered in 2016. When I asked the insurance company what happens with my approval they said it was only good thru the end of 2015 ????

Forgot to give info on my plan in case anyone else may go thru the same and not know it yet. My insurance is thru the market place. Yes obamacare. United healthcare will not be offering platinum plans to residents of NC in 2016. I sure hope no one has to go they this mess.

Misty, all my insurance required was that I see my dr once every 30 days and talk about NOTHING AND I MEAN NOTHING but my weight! How it affects my daily life blah blah blah...it's basically a bi7ch fest about how fat I am for a few minutes. Next she asks what are you going to change this month to try to lose some? Last month I said "I'll ask for non fat milk in my lattes and walk up and down my street a few times a week." She then suggests a low carb diet and I leave. Easy peasy! BUT, whatever you weighed at your PCP office, DONT GO OVER!! You can lose but don't gain!!! Also don't lose so much that your bmi goes below qualifying.

thank you!

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

      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? 🤷‍♀️
