October Sleevers! Announce Yourselves
valdostaGA replied to SkinnyMinnie2Be's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Hello I am from Ga and having my sleeve October 5th in Jax Fl with Dr.Michael Baptista I'm very happy! -
Figure out a way to get up enough money to go to Mexico. Get a second job if u can tolerate it. On another forum a lady had some financial problems and someone from the forum gave her a donation to pay for hers! It was such a blessing! I pray that something comes through for u!!

Really heartbreaking! I pray that u get help!

Blood Pressure Drop Concerns
valdostaGA replied to Jassim Thebat's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Well I think you should purchase a blood pressure monitor or go by a drugstore to keep it checked regularly. -
Oh good luck! I hope they will accept that as the 6 month requirement! I just got approved Thursday with BCBS AL! I started the 6 month diet in from Feb-July and met the other requirements and was approved thank God! I will be praying that you get a positive outcome as well!
-
I would check with my insurance to see if they even cover wls, because just because u have a consult with a surgeon doesn't mean you'll get approved. Most surgeons have a program fee of $200 and up! So definitely check with your insurance to see if you have coverage first.

I'm so happy! I'm in tears! I have a better chance to see my kids grow up! I called BCBS AL today to see if they received the missing paperwork and the rep said "it was approved yesterday as soon as your doctor sent it" I screamed with joy!!!!!! My coordinator is out of the office until Tuesday! Will keep u guys updated and thank u all for every post, reply,prayer thanks!!

Yes! THANKS!!!

Here's My Story....
valdostaGA replied to FindingMyWay's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Sorry in advance if this sound rude but if this is the size u are in the last picture with the bathing suit then any doctor that does any wls on you should be punished. U are a very thin, great size! If you have a problem with binging and purging then you should really seek some therapy and a good nutritionist to help u maintain your weight. Again I apologize if this sounds rude. -

Insurance have had my documents 5 days and I'm super nervous, scared you name it. I've been calling and sent an email yesterday and its still incomplete. I know having a bmi of 59 has to be medically necessary! I'm praying for a positive answer!
