It's unfortunate you had to go what you did. I say, praise Him in the hallway until a door opens! So happy for you! I am in the middle of my program and hope to be sleeved in April.

So very proud of you! After the first of the year, I will have Aetna. My weight fluctuates quite a bit during my cycle. Problem is, Every weigh-in I am weighing heavier becausenof my cycle..... NO I won't be defeated! I'm just gonna have to work harder! Thank you for the encouragement!

Goodness gracious! Sounds like you've been through the ringer! I hope you're well soon!

Sounds like your gallbladder may be acting up, that is, if you still have yours. The symptoms you describe, sound exactly like when I had my gallbladder attack. It's very uncomfortable! I do hope you feel better soon!

It's so good to see someone with the same insurance. I am in my 3rd month with Coventry Healthcare. In Jan 2016 it will be Aetna. I was/am still a bit confused on why I was put in the 6month program. Regardless, I am super motivated and ready to go. I have a wonderful supportive husband and two little boys (13 mo & 4yrs) that are depending on me. It's my turn to take care of (me) I hope to meet others like you! The positive vibrs from this group are amazing!

I had a visit with my psychologist Friday. No red flags, no further treatment/sessions *required* and said I was an excellent canidate! A HUGE weight has been lifted. I couldn't get to my truck before the surgeon's office was calling to set up my appointment with Dr. Edwards! I meet with him this coming Thursday. I am thrilled! We're looking at a tenative surgery date in March. I am blessed!

I am so nervous! These results say if I am candidate for VSG. I need this tool! What should I expect? How are results given regarding the 400+ questions we are asked.. aka (tests) Any and all info WELCOME!

Yay! Blessings being sent your way!

I am a candidate for VGS!! I have my psch eval/ testing and follow up scheduled. Waiting to hear from The Dietician to start my 6mo supervised diets/exercise. I have a dilemma tho. I have a BMI of 43.6 and was told I cannot lose below 40 before they submit to insurance approval. So I cannot lose kore than like 12-14 lbs in 6 mo. Is this a requirement with your policy? Just curious.

I just sent in my patient application with letter of medical necessity from my pcp, and insurance info. I have Coventry HealthCare Insurance of Kansas and have already spoken with them regarding coverage. They DO cover and have a few items in their criteria. Would any one happen to know the process or length of time for approval with Coventry HealthCare of Kansas? I am completely new, so any info is greatly appreciated!

I can't wait until I am not in pain. I have RA and Fibromyalgia and my entire body feels like it's in a FLARE all the time. I can't wait to play with my 4yr and 11 mo old boys in the floor longer than 10-15 minutes without being in excruciating pain. I can't wait to enjoy hiking and biking trails with my husband. I can't wait to be HEALTHY! I can't wait to look how I see myself through my eyes. I look forward to MY JOURNEY of loving myself!

That is terrible! So sorry you're going through this. May I ask what insurance company you use?

I hate that! I hope everything works out for you! We have our insurance through my husband's employer. I spoke with HR regarding any changes for next year. The only thing changing on ours is for ER visits. We will have a $100 co-pay and you're required to pay any deductible upfront. Sent from my SCH-S968C using Tapatalk

It's nice to know I am not alone. We love our insurance provider. The benefits are excellent and affordable. Our policy states a 6 mo supervised diet or (2) 3 mo supervised weightloss programs would be sufficient. I am waiting to hear back on my next step. I am looking forward to the journey!
