Does surgery = Money savings?
megancd replied to megancd's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Thank you everyone for your responses! I'm definitely looking forward to saving some money on food purchases but I'm also kinda looking forward to having to buy smaller clothes. That's a good trade off for me. -
As I prepare for my July surgery date I can't help but wonder if having the surgery helps with saving money. I would think that post surgery the dining out would decrease substantially along with the portion sizes and gas station sodas, etc. Have any of you noticed some cost savings?

Hi ! I'm glad that you've chosen to join us and welcome. I'm confident that you'll find lots of support and advice on here. If I was in the Pacific Northwest we could be buddies! (I'm in Michigan). Congratulations on returning to school as well. That's quite an accomplishment. It sounds as though you are going to have one really exciting year coming up.

The dark urine may be a sign of dehydration rather than a UTI. If its painful to urinate or your urine has a pink or red tint to it that may be a UTI

Those who had over heating and sweating issues prior to surgery chime in..

I am so glad you asked this question and I'm so excited by the positive/hopeful responses! Thank you! -
Your pictures are beautiful! You and your family must be super proud!

Looking awesome! I certainly hope I'll be able to trade my food addiction for a workout addiction as well!

New Member Looking for help
megancd replied to tammymae's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
I also got "The Big Book on the Gastric Sleeve" by Alex Brecher. I'm on page 300/438! I also read a quick little personal account called "Losing It" by Anne Andrews. It's only 61 pages. Good luck to you and Welcome! -
Help with decision!:)
megancd replied to jmonique78's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I originally wanted the band as well but after a lot of reading and research the band seemed to have quite a bit of problems (slippage, erosion, ineffectiveness) and not nearly the same weight loss as the sleeve. -

Anyone MESSA Blue Cross Blue Shield?
megancd posted a topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I just spoke to a customer service rep with MESSA BCBS and he said that they received my file on May 7th and it is under review. Have any of you went through MESSA? If so, do you remember how long the approval process took? And was it a difficult approval process? I'm just eager and excited to hear back from them. I was really hoping for a June date. -
So the nerves are hitting me now

Hi Friends. My name is Megan and I'm hoping to be sleeved in June. I've completed all the requirements and I'm just waiting for the final insurance approval. My insurance is BCBS through MESSA. I live in Big Rapids and am going through the Spectrum Health Medical Group in Grand Rapids. Nice to meet all of you.

Hi Muneca. I'm in month 4 of my insurance required 6 month medical diet. I'm hoping for a late June surgery date.

I'm going through the same situation. My mother is very anti surgery and she most recently said that if I go through with it she does not want to know. I'm saddened by this as I would like her to be part if my support system pre- and post- surgery. I know and understand the complications with any surgery but I feel as though losing and gaining 60+ pounds on three separate occasions before the age of 30 has its own complications too!
