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

The most positive post on this site
Jersrose43 replied to bobbyswife's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
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 -

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

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 -

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 -

BCBS of Michigan. Waiving the six months?
Jersrose43 replied to juhneefurr's topic in Insurance & Financing
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 -
That time of the month...and catheter?
Jersrose43 replied to dashofsunshine's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
No cath here. Doc wanted me up and walking no excuses -
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

Would a ring size change after surgery?
Jersrose43 replied to gwunderle's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
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!
Jersrose43 replied to notjustanotherdiet's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
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
Jersrose43 replied to sleeveplease's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
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 ???????????????????????????? -
