It's better to be safe than sorry Nyc, ct and nj has declared emergencies and no one should be on the road after 11pm, 9 pm, and 9 pm respectively until mid day tuesday There's no way the doc would be able to get to you. And then what happens In a power outage? Remembe sandy? I am sure many vets on here were postponed as well. Be safe! Not sorry! You will have this another day. Not dead on side of garden state parkway!

Usually an jnsurance company looks at revisions differently than straight new surgery. Have you asked for their medical criteria in writing? I would. Or Google bcbs name of your state and gastric sleeve it should have the revision guidelines in it. I have cigna and they have it couple pages after new surgery Remember bcbs is different by state so make sure you get that state name In there https://cignaforhcp.cigna.com/public/content/pdf/coveragePolicies/medical/mm_0051_coveragepositioncriteria_bariatric_surgery.pdf

Btw am jn bergen county. Currently expecting 24 or more! Schools already called a half day. Snow to start 9 am I'm keeping my kids hkme

Well the hospital must stay open. Hospitals don't close. So that's not the issue. Id be more concerned on surgeon and anesthesiologist. How far are they traveling to the hospital? They may postpone you but can't see it being more than a day or two. Call first thing in the morning

Jen I work in healthcare and I will tell you it's expensive. when you start adding millions of people with conditions that are costly that never had care before or continue to need expensive care the rest of will pay for it. That's how jnsurance works. You pay to the fund. The fund pays for someone to get care. That said its not obamacare directly driving people out of business. It is the larger groups. If you pay attention to what is going on in healthcare you can read articles about how single hospitals are merging or selling to others. Same with doctors and same with pharmacies. The meek will die and the strong will survive. It is fallout of ACA but NOT the a direct cause. They need to be larger because they will have te power to negotiate and command better rates from any insurance company. Not just the plans that are ACA. This has been going on for a while. ACA sped it up to warp speed. As I said in a way earlier post. ACA/obamacare/PPACA - didn't go far enough!! You need to control the costs of physicians and hospitals. You need a single charge for same services in same locale. And the saw payment Non negotiable. Otherwise we're going broke regardless of commercial, employer based, government provided healthcare. Without cost and charge controls health care is incredibly unaffordable. Look at Vermont. They were going for single payer health care and dumped it. UNAFFORDABLE to pay for all that care. You have to control costs and charges.

Hi Zantac is not for the hernia - it's for gastric reflux If you're on a ppi that should help I had a hernia repair at the time of my sleeve. The EGD didn't show I had it. I honestly was ok. I was extremely lucky to have none of those negative occurrences. It does happen that some folks become lactose intolerant. Not sure what type of milk you are having but I switched over to almond milk and it's really good. I switched pre surgery as I was intolerant before. Am not any longer actually. Odd right?

Pre surgery it as a great source of "relief" hubby has offered to help out when I go 5 days constipated. Told him MOM works wonders too

My tastes certainly did. I was loving blueberry and chocolate shakes before surgery. After couldn't tolerate anything but straight vanilla. Also hate bacon now. Go figure I would suggest you get the sample package from unjury.com It's $21 or so and comes with unflavored, chocolate etc I used the unflavored post surgery to make my Jello and jello puddings I package was enough for 2-3 weeks worth. Then the other samples I made shakes. I also bought a nutribullet and use fruits and veggies to make shakes I occasionally add a scoop of Protein but rarely. Mostly I used greek yogurt in there If you use protein it tends to foam up so let it sit for a bit and let it go down I haven't used any protein shakes since july4 My surgery was june 24

I was sleeved 6/24 I started at 240 and 5.5 and a half It's been 7 months and I am weighing in at 165 right now. 15 more pounds to go.

See my response to your other post

As to why people go to Mexico. What I've seen posted is the top reasons 1- I don't have insurance 2- my insurance specifically excludes it. 3- I don't want to be bothered with 6 or 12 or more months of nutritional counseling. 4- I got denied a couple times - or once- and don't want to go through hoops

Call and clarify a few things Call the jnsurance. Have you received an authorization request for surgery from dr x in day x? What is auth number ? Call doc insurance coordinator. I. Called united they don't have me as approved yet - what's up?

It can be faster but most hospitals take 5 days to submit. A little longer for inpatient. The 5 days to process at insurance assuming that everything they need is there and that the contractual arrangement is simple. Most hospitals aren't You can log on to aetna.com and watch your claims go through.

Saw that last night and I am a horrible person who kept thinking she just needs to pass. I am horrible. She frustrates me. I mean why is she like this? It's beyond food addiction. They need to take away her kid and her husband needs to leave

Mine was 1% 1 in every 1,000 dies

I cook as well. Everyone wants what I eat and I may add a side or salad for them. But pretty much the same basic meal. They just have more of it Today - tacos. They had shells I didn't Yesterday shrimp and grits They had some grits I had a spoonful I've also made: Tandoori chicken Chicken tikka masala Pork roast Short ribs Chili Arroz con pollo Cuban Piccadillo Codfish / bacala (am portuguese this is a basic food)

You should get an explanation of benefit by valentines assuming hospital submitted timely. You don't get a bill from aetna and please don't pay anyone anything until they send you an actual bill from the provider of service. Don't pay based on the aetna EOB.

Yes looking into pricing so will likely schedule a consult soon. Give myself a year to stabilize and save.

Thank you! I did the treatment yesterday and hair feels silky. I am going to get a sulfite free shampoo tmmw
