In and out of it. I'm officially a sleeved gal Thanks for prayers

Thank you. I'm here waiting to be taken back. Prayers appreciated!

I'm screaming from the mountain tops, doing the happy dance. Thank you sweet and wonderful God.. I had bcbsfl submitted yesterday approved yesterday ... Best of luck to everyone.

Thanks! Currently working on drinking the bowel cleanser, ekk that stuff is gross!!!

In less than 24 hours I'll be on my new journey! Please say a prayer for me & the medical staff. I have to be at hospital at 5a.m. Thank you friends!

Did you get your date? I have surgery Monday the 28. Happy & scared! I'm the first of the day.

Thanks everyone for the support!

I have a rant! I have a co-worker that's constantly complaining, says off the wall comments to me. Likes to be a drama queen per say. Yesterday at work we had a confrontation, which she started. My surgery is the 28. I don't want to lose my job, but I want so bad to read her loud annoying a$$. She belittled me right in front of my co-workers. I bet she feels like I'm her puppet. Now would you handle her in a professional way? Lord please give me strength!

Thanks! It's time to be better not bitter.

Did you have any incisions go thru your belly button? How has your recovery been?

I have bcbsfl state employees group I was approved in one hour. I guess state and federal are kinda similar. My surgery is the 28, best of luck to you.

I had a consult with a surgeon and he's trying to talk me into the band. Given my bmi is only 36, He thinks I will loose a great amount of weight and become malnourished. I believe there are other reason for his push on the band. Like follow ups and the fills, means more $$. I over heard him through the wall, to the room next to mine, trying to push the band on another patient. Should I give the band a try first then have revision later if it fails?? So stressed over this!

I have a 10 day supply. My co-pay was $7.00. Surgery Oct 28

My date is October 28!

I'm on my preop diet to shrink my liver? Have you heard of anyone not having surgery due to an enlarged liver? My current weight is 227. I don't want to get to small before surgery and lose 100 lbs after surgery. Worried about my hair falling out too.

Thank you for the insight.

I tried the chocolate flavor, it's ok. Does anyone like the whey shakes after surgery? I'm using it for my preop diet. It has 30 grams of protein. Wondering if I should buy more its only 15.98

My coordinator called Bcbs after their conference call which lasted over an hour, I was approved.

Congratulations! !!!

Hopefully you'll hear something soon. I start my pre-op diet today ..

Good luck Russ!!!

My coordinator was on the phone for over an hour with the insurance company getting approval. I have a Cadillac policy being I am a state employee. No special privileges here just had the BMI requirement and the co morbidities that went along with it.

I feel like I won the Lottery! Blessedness on your approval.

I'm getting very nervous as the time to submit draws closer. Wednesday I have my last visit which includes the liver class. My bmi is 36 with Co morbid of high blood pressure diagnosised in June this year, gerd, and rem sleep apnea. Did anyone not have to submit pass weight history for BCBS? I'm on the state employees plan and they offer an awesome contract. What was your bmi& comorbids?
