I have been very blessed! I'm already down 39 pounds since surgery! I still have a long way to but am very glad I can come on here and get support when I need it. If it wasn't from the support and reading a lot of everyone's stories I don't think I would have ever made this journey but I'm glad I did!!

Thank you very much! Really haven't done any exercising, I really need to start. I have just been eating a lot less especially since my first fill it was a dramatic difference. My two year old can eat more than me. Lol. The only thing is some days I can go without eating all day and I have to remind myself to try and eat something because I just really no longer get hungry.

Hello, I have BCBS-TX, I have my approval where they will pay 80% of the surgery and I will pay my 20%. I was told that the doctor and the hospital are two separate bills. Will not be hearing from them until the end of the week to know my exact cost. Was just curious did anyone else go through this surgery with BCBS-TX and about how much did you have to pay out of pocket. Would greatly appreciate any information! Thanks!

The day that I have been longing for is finally here. I'm headed to the hospital now! Seems like a dream come true! See y'all on the other side!!

I went for my preop visit today. I lost 16 pounds on my 2 week liquid diet!! Now the real journey begins at 8:00 in the morning!! Have to be at the hospital at 6! Excited but nervous but it will all be worth it!!

When I finally got tired I was so scared to go to sleep because I didn't think I would gear my clock. Lol that would be horrible!

Yeah my nerves are getting the best of me I just keep focusing on the end result!

I am so glad you are doing well!!

I sure will let you know!

Only 4 more days left until my surgery! Any words of wisdom will be greatly appreciated.. getting really nervous!

Help! I Am On Day 3 Of My Liquid Diet And It Is So Hard! Having To Cook For My Family Then Watching Everyone Eat And I Drinking A Shake. Its Not Easy Any Tips To Help Me Get Through The Next 11 Days I Will Greatly Appreciate It. I Know Its Gonna Be WoRth It In The End. Just Wish It Was Easier.

I Am On My Third Day Of My Liquid Diet It Isnt Fun At All But Gonna Be Worth It In The End. Im Getting Banded on July 2Nd!!

I was told today that my physicians cost will be 388.00 out of pocket but the hospital will be calling me sometime next week. I have a 2000.00 out of pocket cost which I only have 1683.00 left to meet and BCBS told me they could not charge me over the 1683.00. I'm just curious how much more will the hospital be than the physician. I already have my surgery date set for July 2nd. I just don't want anything to postpone that. But BCBS acts like they don't know anything. One person will tell me one thing and the next person on the phone the next, Just so confused.

I have blue cross blue shield of texas, all I had to do was go for a psychological evaluation, a letter from my physician took about three weeks for a response but just got my letter of approval last week and now im on my first day of my 2 week liquid diet with surgery on July 2nd. Wish you the best!
