Hi. ..I was wondering what kind of comments other people are getting when you mention that you are getting VSG? I hear and see alot of people say that they aren't telling anyone. . well when you go from a a size 20 to a 14..what are you suppose to say lol? I have only shared this journey with a couple of people because of the negative vibes that ive gotten. .My manager and I have a wonderful relationship and he blew a gasket...no no no you dont need that...thats dumb...then to my loving boyfriend. .no..thats the easy way out and I dont agree. .im like damn can anyone support me here...My mother lives 6 hrs away and she is 100% supportive but I feel like I need a good support system here as well and I don't really have it....ALL the people who suoport me are 6 hrs away...just wanted to know if anyone else was going thru this....the NUT said that I definitely need support going thru this.... Shuuuuuuu (wiping my brow) glad to get that off of my chest! patiently waiting

Thanks for your kind words patiently waiting

So weird. .I was just going thru the same thing and I was becoming discouraged. .I finally called my insurance company and my coordinator and said eh hemmmm... what's the status I'm freaking here and they gave me an update.... she told me all looks good and I should hear from her on Monday.. so that eased my anxiety a little. .. call them today and ask for the status. . trust me they are used to it patiently waiting

Thanks and I hope so. I called my insurance company yesterday and the rep I spoke to informed me that it was pending and they were awaiting a call from my surgeons office? So.. I called my surgeons office and said ughhhh...bcbs is awaiting your call and haven't heard anything yet? patiently waiting

Great. ... congrats patiently waiting

Awesome and congrats to you. ..I love hearing these success stories! How do you feel? Do you remember your first thought when you woke up? patiently waiting

Congrats to you all and God bless. .. once well enough please. . please. .please come back and give us an update. .. you will do great. . claim it! Can't wait to hear your story patiently waiting

This will work for you. .. we are going to claim it. . when you first signed up for this WLS they should have informed you. .. my very first visit to see a surgeon to discuss this procedure I sat in the waiting room of course waiting to see the surgeon and as I walked back the receptionist stopped me and said. . your insurance requires a BDCOE and we are not? I said ok and left. . luckily there are at least 3 in my area within an hour drive but someone should have been able to give you that information before it got this far? Wishing you the best and please don't give up patiently waiting

Morning meeting... patiently waiting
