    Hair loss

    Interesting, I wonder if they work. Normally, the hair loss is from the trauma of surgery and lack of protein. I wonder how these would help prevent or slow hair loss.
  4. Oh wow, I am so sorry. I hope you fight this. Good luck!

    waiting

    Just from being on the forum, I've seen it take anywhere from a day to two weeks and my surgeon tells me it could take a month. Hopefully, you will hear back soon. How long have you been waiting?

    Hi!

    Wow, your attitude is awesome. Congrats on losing so much weight already before surgery and getting your date. Welcome to the forum!
  11. I definitely second bombardier's comment. Call your insurance and find out for yourself, you don't want to hear a denial for surgery just because you didn't know.

    7 Month Surgiversary!! :)

    You look great! Congrats on your fabulous weight loss.
  21. I hope you hear something soon. I will be crossing my fingers for you that you get an approval. Good luck and welcome to the forum! This is a great place to ask questions and find support, so ever be afraid to ask questions.
  22. I personally called my insurance to verify my benefits and was then referred to a bariatric coordinator who also confirmed the requirements for surgery who then referred me to my nurse case manager who also verified the information. At this point, I am 100% sure they REALLY want the 6MSWL. Also, Novus Center who I work with as a part of Dr. Webb's (my surgeon) practice has also confirmed the information for me.
  23. I know complications can occur with VSG, and as I was surfing through Andrea's blog at wlsvitagarten.com, I found her post about the "ASMBS ER Sheet" which she found on the ASMBS website. This seems to be an invaluable resource for ANYONE having ANY type of bariatric surgery. I have already printed out two copies myself, and I can't tell you how beneficial I found it.

  24. Lol, I am in my pre-op 6MSWL, and I know my boyfriend and mother are both sick of hearing about it already. And I even still have three months to go before I can get approval! I just come here and read through the postings and talk with other pre-sleevers, and I get to talk about it as much as I want. I mean, everyone here is on the same journey.
