Oh I get that it isnt a quick fix.I perfer a slow,steady weight loss due to better adjustment system wise and its just a healthier loss. I eat balanced, portioned meals, exercise pretty regularly, no known metabolic issues, though I do have pcos. It seems after I had my 3rd son, things just arent working. I have cared for post op RNY/ gastric bypass patients before and I feel that it is far too extreme for me. I just need that incentive to make a better choice. I have to vs well I can chose too. I know if I have truly uncomfortable consequences, that I will make the right choice to avoid the ickies.

Going thru my insurance, BCBS of MA, their criteria looks to be fairly easy and straight forward. Dr.Chock seems very cool and the nursing staff were very informative and helpful.

If insurance pays for the surgery, do they cover the fills as well?

13 months from the day of surgery. Any after that their fee is $150.00 right now.

I wish you luck on your journey.

ok so I am also set up with O'Keef for the behavior/nutrition requirement for insurance. My psych eval is first week of April. What all is involved in that?

I went to Eileen O'Keeffe and she was great. She knows exactly what the insurance needs to hear and she has good lifestyle/diet things to think about.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
