My surgeon's office gave me a list of everything that is required. I bought a binder and organized everything in order to submit to the insurance carrier. I also included a picture of my family so they know that I am human and what I fighting for. I was blessed. Bcbs approved me in less than 48 hrs. They normally take up to 2 wks. My case worker was God sent.

I can't wait till I don't run out of breathe. Till I don't have to take shot for my diabetes. Till I'm no longer the elephant in the room. Till I can dress up and feel sexy. Till I have energy to run after my little ones. Till food isn't the boss of me.

All surgeons are different. One of the surgeons I saw doesn't required the pre op diet, yet his colleague does. Some say that it really doesn't make that much of a different. I truly have no clue. All I know is that I want May 22 to get already.

I do not know you but I do know what it is to be a human being.. YOU ARE A HUMAN BEING TOO!!! with that said, you must love yourself before you can expect anyone else to love you. Forgive me for the directness because I surely do not aim to upset you, but he doesnt truly love you. Contary to belief, love does have conditions. It called respect, loyalty, faithfullness and much more. My husband loves them chunky and I was somewhat worried. Then one day I wake up to a beautiful coversation from him reassuring that his love for me is too profound to worry about the outside and that my health was very important to him.. It was a little more beautiful than those words but you get what I am saying.. He is my bestfriend.. YOU DESERVE TO BE HAPPY AND SHOULD NEVER HAVE TO SETTLE REGARDLESS OF WEIGHT!!!! we can all give you advise but at the end of the day, you must want to be happy to be happy.. Wishing you the best!!!

I have BCBS and was approved within 2 days.. Ms Wanda is correct.. I turned in a package that was so organized that they made it a pointto tell me how they appreciated it. My case manager was God sent too.. BCBS is pretty good. very happy with them

I think it's up to you. Personally I don't care who knows or whether they agree or not. I'm doing it for my health. However with that said, I also think you have every right to not share. It's a personal decision and shouldn't feel obligated to share unless you want too.

Does that only as protein or fluids too ?

My surgery is this coming Wed and I just started my period. Would they cancel the surgery do to my period? I've been waiting so long

Thanks soontobe. ????

Does it only count as protein or fluids too

I'm scheduled next Wednesday and after reading the struggles of fluids, I decided to buy smart water since it has electrolytes. I'm thinking something is something. Thoughts

Whew. Feeling more and more optimistic. Thank you ladies.

Hmmm not sure what my first sentence says. Sorry. What I wanted to say is that I'm trying to not have an emotional breakdown.

Lol. I was concerned for a moment. ????

So exciting. I wish everyone the best.

Personally I like that they remove the part of the stomach that has what I call the craving hormones. Also because I hear the dumping syndrome is scary and wouldn't want to experience it. There are more reasons but those are my personal main reasons.

Hi everyone. Would love to see some before and after pics ❤????????????????
