Anyone from Oklahoma?



Recommended Posts

Anyone here from Oklahoma that would be willing to be a buddy of mine? I'm very new to this, I'm still deciding what and if this is right for me.

I'm from Oklahoma!! I'm still new at this also. I started looking into this in Feb & finally got approved w/ insurance in april. I changed surgeons in may due to new surgeon being in my insurance network. Now trying to wait patiently with new Dr. I have done all my requirements and keep checking back with them weekly to verify everything has been done. Just a couple of days ago when I called they assured me they were doing chart checks that day & we would know something soon. So I will call next week again if I don't hear from them. So hopefully I will be able to schedule this for August!!

Good luck to you!!!

I'm very curious about what insurance you have and how that's been working for you. I work for the State, so I've been trying to figure out if my insurance covers this or what I've got to do to get approved. Yay fellow Okie!

Of course, no prob! I have BCBSOK. They declined first because my BMI was 35 & they require it to be 40. But found out i have sleep apnea so with that Comorbidity we resubmitted & it was approved!!

I'm from Oklahoma too. I've just recently made the decision and am starting the process. I'll have to wait til January because right now I've got an extremely high deductible plan and need to switch plans for the new year.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
