I have Bcbs of nc and I was approved in 2 days. Doctors office called me to let me know were lucky to have an insurance with lean requirements !

Everyone at my work knows, i was debating if I should have shared too...but they'll find out sooner or later, might as well be through your mouth instead of another's. That being said, as long as your confident in your choice and are happy you're doing this , forget theirs. Everyone is always going to have an opinion. You don't even know if they will be negative... Worst case scenario, they'll envy your weight loss from a far

Trying looking up when you drink. Helped me.

I have bcbs (not federal ) and they approved me in 2 days. I think you'll get approved. I have a high bmi with no secondary illnesses.

Oh wow, glad you told me that.... Maybe Nuvaring or an IUD.

You're not allowed to take pill form BC anymore. They don't know how much is actually being absorbed. Got to find another method. I'm on the patch this month but switching to the shot next month. Best of luck !

It does relieve tension from one side lol I didn't realize you were so fresh off the cutting table !

I have that issue too, I have to take a sip keep it in my mouth and tilt my head up to swallow it slowly. Like a chicken lol but it works for me. If you find a solution I also suggest crushed iced in the blender so you're hydrating somehow

I didn't make it, I think it's bobby Evans, from the freezer.

I do just fine with mac n cheese. It's the only food I've tried that doesn't gross me out.

Thanks ! I'm soooo doing mash potatoes and potato soup lol The shakes do suck, I'm doing the same one I loved on my pre op diet and now they taste bad and I have a hard finishing them. Not gonna lie I've totally had mac and cheese and it's the only thing I can repeat. Also have you invested in flavorless protein you can sprinkle on food ? Got my protein at GNC... Helps if you can't tolerate food.

Really sorry to hear that. Your friends ?! You need them, this is no time to be alone. You'll have us though ! Not sure why they wouldn't support you, but whatever your reasons are, I'm glad you're not letting them sway your opinion. I think that means you know you're doing the right thing.... They will support you one day, maybe they're just "visual" people. I hope you stay strong and know they this will be the best choice you can make for you a better life. Remember I'm here ! Good luck ! ????

I have hips and a huge butt - I'm also 9 days post op. I can not wait to not have to worry if my butt will fit in a regular chair with handles or at least hurt after a few mins of being squeezed in it. Anywhere. (Theme parks included) Same Goes for airplanes seats ! I went to Greece last year and my first flight was spent in a tiny seat ( for me ) for 9 hours in horrible pain that turned into bruises, paid extra for 1st class on the way back. Also can't wait to stop rummaging through my drawers for the perfect outfit that fits good vs just grabbing what I want to wear. I have really adventurous friends who like to do crazy things, and id love to join in instead of being scared I'll break something or won't be able to do it. Also being hit on by normal dudes when I go out with my friends lol. Amen. ????

Hard to get rid of the aches. And I know they suck, these past 3 days have been ache less. I walked around when I had them. Congrats on your BM, I wouldn't worry about the oil, our bodies are going through some weird stuff, if last week the toilet didn't scare you, this should be nothing lol .Sorry you're tired, we're all going to have our days I hope you feel better !! also curious to know what you've been eating, I'm out of ideas for food, for me it's Tuesday that I can normal shaped food again.

I was lucky where I only had liquids in the hospital and my pre op was shakes fruits and one real meal of food a day. I hated liquids, thinking of broth makes me want to barf. You're brave for enduring all the liquids !

Kell that sounds good, I didn't do anything yesterday I wasn't feeling great (nausea) but I'll finally get to go visit my new niece today. Ariana I'm so sorry, that really freaking sucks a lot !!!

One week surgiversay kell ! Can't wait until we're feeling like gold !

Hey everyone Christina here, So tomorrow is my big day, anyone else as nervous as I am ? Lol guys, I can't see myself in the hospital this time tomorrow recovering, Just crazy ! Would love to have surgery buddies to go through #TheStruggle with together for support & advice. Good luck in advance ????????????

Lol the food struggle is real ! Glad you kept it together! I had my first craving today and I'm actually happy that I finally feel somewhat like myself again. I haven't been able to remember what any food I like tastes like and believe or not it made me sad. I'm feeling better for the most part but sometimes I get so nauseous. Still waiting for my "glad I did this" moment lol

Congrats ! That really sucks you had an allergy to the glue. I changed my gauze where they pulled out the drain from and it looks gross and not completely sealed.

That's good! I'm finally done with popping every hour, today has been my best day yet, good luck.!

Also do you have cravings for anything ? Because I literally crave nothing and everything I've ate makes me cringe thinking about it afterwards.

I can't believe you felt good enough to go out ! But that's great you did, my sister had a baby on Thursday ( same hospital while i was there ) and I still don't feel good, long enough to make it to her house! Did you doctor tell you about a stitch ? Mine is on the left and that's where most of the uncomfortableness is coming from. I feel like crap. I can't get comfy and my stomach won't stop rumbling. I'm over it, I don't know how some people are just good to go within days, I envy those people !

Is it just watery or is a weird color ? Guys I keep going every hour doesn't matter if I've eaten something or not. My doctor told me to call tomorrow to make an appt for in a weeks time. I'm allowed puréed food already, but I barely find myself eating anything more than some yogurt or jello or a Popsicle or even laughing cow cheese. I feel so weak half of the day not sure what I'm doing wrong. Does anyone else have this issue ? I just made chicken with avacado puree and it's yummy, it's my first REAL meal. Also anyone having an issue with water ? I can't swallow it for nothing without it hurting.

The bulb they have in your that drains your inside fluids ? I'm not sure everyone gets one...
