Shocked!! Approved!!!



Recommended Posts

Yes, I was shocked when I got the call. I am approved, no appeal, no missing paperwork, just approved with BCBS, Now I am really happy and nervous. I was not expecting to be approved without a fight.

So all of you waiting out there for approval, don't give up!!!

Now I need to prepare, any help and info on pre-op and post-op foods to stock would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

I hope yours goes as easy as mine. I was expecting a fight after reading what others have gone through on this site. I have had knee replacement, and don't want another. I guess they figured this was cheaper than another replacement.

Congratulations!!!! Did you tell your doctor's office yet? Did you get a date yet? That's the next exciting thing.

Thanks, I hope so too. You would think that all of the insurance companies would recognize how much easier it would be to pay for the surgery now, than to pay for all of my other illnesses later on. Of course, that would make sense and most insurance companies don't believe in making sense. Go figure.:confused2:

That's great! Now don't be surprised if you don't hear anything from your dr's office and then one day they'll call and say your surgery is in a week or two!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
