I have BcBs as well when I went to the first seminar I gave my bariatric center all my insurance info .... They found out I also had the exclusion clause ..... So I am a self pay ... It really sounds like the insurance co screwed up sometimes you can appeal the exclusion if its a medical necessity with dr assistance .... So sorry and best of luck

Without going to far in a limb here I think most of us have reflux atlest I know I did fit years I am already being weened off of omeprazol to Zantac then to go off all together ... The sleeve surgery as well as my hernia fix has been great so far .... Is it the chrones that is the issue ???? I don't know about that and surgery sorry but good luck in your journey ...

I confess ; I hate to exercise I want people to compliment me I miss bar food I lie about my Water intake to my hubby I told my hubby I would never do tummy Tuck or boob job .... But it really depends

Well I am anemic so bypass was off the table , I didn't want the band after I researched it more , so since I was a self pay and this was my one shot the sleeve was the best choice for me as well !!!! No regrets 6 weeks our 30 lbs down

Have you checked you blood pressure ? Are u getting enough fluids???? I'd call the dr just to be safe

So happy for you , it's alway inspiring to see the before pics and you look wonderful now thanks for showing us

I've started the fresh lemon and a lil decaf tea in water it is helping get up the in my oz. thanks for all the suggestions I'm game for anything

I was never a big water drinker to begin with and I understand in my head that I need to get my 64 oz in especially now .... But I gave such a hard time , I have tried all the additives , etc is something wrong with me ???? Feeling frustrated !!!

So cool !!!!

Sw 261 Cw 234 Feeling pretty good finally , going for my check up today , I'm very curious about my blood work and how all my supplements are working , I'm getting the hang of life without bad food , I really don't miss the crap stuff ,,, I really thought bread and Pasta would be hard to delete but really not so much 27 lbs is pretty much on track I feel , not a big enough change for me to really notice , just subtle things ,,,, looking forward to the oh wow reactions to come .... No regrets NONE !!!! Feeling blessed and hopeful for my future health ....

Feeling pretty good , getting to understand my Limits ... Only down 25 lbs but better down than up so I'm pleased it too 30 years to put it on lol ... I'm so glad that I went through this I was a self pay but it was totally worth it to help me live a better life , everyday I feel blessed to have the support , I have never had any push back , which is awesome ... I'm averaging about 600-800 cals a day and I track with my fitness pal which helps ,,, I can't wait to hit onederland ... I haven't see. That in 26 years OMG but it's within my reach wish me luck ya'all .....

It's always ok to be nervous we have all been there , but if you have faith in your surgeon and do what your told you will be fine you will be fine ..

Nope have you called your surgeon ??? I would just to be safe .. Good luck

Inspirational picture hanks for sharing

First thing that came to mind ,,, holy crap ... You look great

Listen to your body it will tell you what you need , it took me almost a full month to get my energy I'm 49 not sure if that's why but going well now almost 5 weeks out , I told pretty much everyone what I was doing and why do I go only good feed back I wouldn't care if anyone said negative , but I don't surround myself with those people any way ... I am loved no matter what size , I know that and am thankful .... Cheers with a protein shake to your new way of life welcome to the club. ,,

Ok now that we are all on this journey any advice on how your doing all the supplements/vitamins it seems like I'm sticking pills in my mouth ever 2 hours what are you guys taking and how/ when ????

Sometimes I think it's all just for them to make $$$ (

It's like you have to be a chemist now omg

What multi do you take

I didn't know I couldn't do that ... I just took my multivitamin and calcium chew omg wtf

Ok this is what I have to take : Thyroid med, omeprazol, Iron, Multivitamin 3 times a day , Biotin, chew calcium 2 per day , B1 , B12, iosol and green supplement, and probiotic hhhhhhh I think that's all if them it seems like a Ton to me !!! (

You have such a great family it looks like now it's time to take care of you as a mom myself that's the last thing on the board right ... But not now after what you have been through this will be a walk in the park ... Keep your head up and just keep moving forward every day will get better and before you know it your health will be back and you and your family will look at your past and say wow we made it. Good luck and god bless your journey ...
