I called my insurance company (UHC TX medicaid) and was told the only requirement is a letter of medical necessity. I called 3 different times to make sure I got the same answer. When I went to my consult, the benefits coordinator said I will need 6 months of supervised diet. She said we can try and submit it early to see if it will get approved. Which info is right?

Is there really anything as a sugar free juice because fruit naturally has sugar in it? I would go with a fruit/veggie blend and dilute it a ton.

Sorry, I meant this picture!

This is how I sleep kinda. I have a super big body pillow that I got for less than $40 on Amazon. I'm only on day 3 post op but haven't had much pain if I move slowly.

I had my surgery on the 30th. I'm feeling pretty good, I think. Just bad has pains and trying to figure out how much a sip is really to my body. I've been nauseous enough to run to the toilet but haven't got anything up which I think is good. The worst site for my pain is on my lower left side of my stomach. I look like I'm pregnant with all the swelling lol. I know I've only gotten about 20 oz of fluid in,but water doesn't go down well right now. I'm craving a Doctor Pepper so bad it's not even funny haha. I haven't had one of those since before my 2 week preop diet which I didn't even crave then! Bodies are weird haha. Carbonated drinks are a thing of the pass body,get it together! Sent from my SM-G920P using the BariatricPal App

I'm prepared to do the 6 months of diet. My doctor went on maternity leave, so I had to see a new doctor who wants me to try a few things before he gives me a letter of necessity. Plus it's just hard fitting in these doctor appointment all on! I've got 2 months down, so another 4 won't be bad!

It's so odd that the insurance told me something different. Either way I'm prepared to do the 6 month diet. 1 month down!

You can do a lot with a black dress! Witch,cat, skeleton with felt bones stuck on. I'm going as a butterfly with big fabric wings I got on Amazon for $15
