    elgible = Approved?

    I work in insurance and I wouldn't accept that as approved. Approved is approved Eligible means I have coverage, service coverage is available, and maybe I can get approved I would get something else from your carrier. Specifically a phone call, someone's name and employee id Log the time and date of call
  4. I am grateful to all of you. Started reading this site January 2014 and made the decision after reading all the complications first, that the positive outweighed those negatives I want to thank everyone who came before me and posted for doing so
  5. Did you actually know this person. Score she bought these items? I would've gotten rude after the first time.
  6. @@nprcowboy It happens, ignore the crap take the positive Did your doc give you omeprazole? Pepcid, nexium? Anything like that? You need some.

    Maintaining Her down there

    My peeps tell me they need a half inch and that's a lot so the wax can grab on. Not a couple inches. That would be extremely long and extremely painful

    Looking for a Mentor/Buddy in NJ

    I have had burritos recently. I do burrito bowls now Ask for a little rice and lots of extra veggies. And a burrito bowl usually lasts me 3 meals now This is one from a local mexican place in Rutherford. They're awesome. It's carne al pastor. Spicy and lovely Light amount of rice, lots of corn, Beans, veggies under the meat. I split it in three pieces visually. And tons of leftovers
  12. I echo lipstick lady. You may need a change in ppi But wait until Monday. See if the purées make it better. Try mash sweet potatoes, cottage cheese, something firmer than blended Soups If that makes you feel fuller keep track of times. If you're hungry more than every 2/3 hours you'll need a better ppi
  13. Hang in there it gets better when you get to mushies and real food.

    BCBS of Michigan. Waiving the six months?

    I worked there up or 7 years ago BCN is the subsidiary and it's the hno product. Their medical policies are different than bcbsm which is ppo, EPO, indemnities I would call bcbsm directly and ask them. Even if you are not a customer today they c an give you the medical policy
  15. No cath here. Doc wanted me up and walking no excuses

    Maintaining Her down there

    I've done waving. The full Brazilian. And yes it hurts. Especially the first time, and really a whole lot if you don't trim first. I like to get it evry 4-6 weeks. Summer I stay at 4 weeks. After a few times the pain tends to get better. And also because tre hair tends to grow in thinner really helps. Go to a place that uses purple wax not the yellow kind that they use on face. You use that and you will really really suffer
  17. I went to see a chiro this week. I couldn't take it anymore and the orthopedic had nothing on X-ray or mri Chiro said my sacroiliac joint was out of place causing lower back pain. He adjusted me and recommended sitting on a 65 cm ball to strengthen up my core Now to fix the upper back issues
  18. I am using fiber gummies with success but also an occasional stool softener

  21. My jeweler also put a sizer on when I was around an 8 Then I returned because sizer wasn't holding it on any more So she added some large balls on the ring and then a sizer on top of that. She won't size it finally until I am stable because it will hurt the ring structure. Here is how it looks on inside

    Scared I will be denied by insurance!

    I see on your other post you have Cigna. With a 35 and sleep apnea that is one piece of the hurdle You need 3 visits to a nutritionist in 89 days or more You need a letter from another doctor not your surgeon recommending the surgey. Here is the policy in writing. Make sure you understand you meet each piece and you'll be covered Good luck https://cignaforhcp.cigna.com/public/content/pdf/coveragePolicies/medical/mm_0051_coveragepositioncriteria_bariatric_surgery.pdf

    Return to Work from Home

    I work from home but took 2 1/2 weeks off. The first week and pain meds was just a lot of sleepiness but I had no complications. Helped to be off to go through the eating phases and get to know my body a little bit. I was ready to go back after 5 days. But it was summer and I went to the beach and sat on sand instead ????????????????????????????
