Update...called fed bcbs and no answer on approval yet. It has only by 1 week . Surgeons office said normally takes a week to week and a half. Bcbs pre cert. Spokesman told me normally 15 days so they can review so I probably won't hear anything till the 27th of October. ????????????my surgery date is November 3rd. I know a couple of you said you got your approval right before your surgery date and others got theirs in a week. Wondering why some are approved quicker than others. Again my bmi is over 40 (42 to be EXACT ) I have sleep apnea, arthritis, rls, all pre-certification was complete. Ugh, trying to remain positive and calm but freaking out on the inside

      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?

      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! 😞
