Scared of being denied....



Recommended Posts

I'm worrying too about being denied for some obscure reason however all the testing is what's really bothering me in these beginning stages.

I'm 61, my BMI is 36.9, I have diabetes, sleep apnea, high BP and cholesterol and a few other things that qualify me. My worry is really irrational I know. I keep pulling back my hopefulness and excitement for fear that one of the tests will disqualify me.

Super irrational since 14 months ago I had major surgery for a shattered humorous which I came through with flying colors.

Just 2 months ago I was put under for dental work and everything was fine.

I just wonder if all my anxiety is at a deeper psychological level... Like I somehow don't deserve to be thin, healthy and happy. Thoughts?

You need to get info from your insurance company. Coverage varies greatly. I read documentation from my carrier and made calls. When calling, be patient and be prepared to get transferred several times!

      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! 😞
