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!

      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... :(
