Ooh the jello idea sounds great, out of all the flavors I've tried so far, fuzzy navel is def one of my favs

great deal! I'll have to check my local store out

Yes they are, or at least my nutrionist says so

Anyone else surgeon have them write a personal letter as to why you need the surgery ? It's to be submitted with my insurance packet as well.

Ahh so it is a common thing lol. Just thought maybe it was my surgeon. I'll check out that site cause I'm stumped as what to say other than I need it bad lol.

Thanks guys [emoji4] I think I'm going to go ahead and buy a sampler of all the flavors.

I have Carefirst BCBS Maryland as well, hoping I get an approval as fast as you did [emoji16], congrats!!!

Has anyone experienced or notice a difference when it comes to their feet ? I have extremely wide feet and just would like to know what to expect if anything. Thanks.

This is so exciting for me lol. I have extremelyyyyy wide feet . I have always had a hard time finding cute and fashionable shoes to accomadate them (heels,pssh forget about it ) . I can't wait to be able to try on any shoe I please and have them actually fit

So yesterday I went to see my surgeon for one of my required visits and to my surprise the nurse mentioned that if I get my physch eval, 2 workout sessions done, they will be ready to submit my paperwork to ins for approval. She wants me to be scheduled for May !! I'm so excited as I wasn't expecting to have my 7 visits done until July,. The prospect of it being so close is making nervous but excited also [emoji4]

Thanks ladies [emoji4] nothing set in stone but it's nice to know I'm closer than I thought

Thanks ladies. When i initially decided to start this journey I told myself I would not let the scale dictate me , like it has done in the past. I will stick to weighing in only when meeting with my surgeon, and going even harder with the meal prepping and exercising.

I went to my first consult last month, and Tuesday I have my second appointment. I have been sticking to the meal plan my surgeon office recommended. I weighed myself a few times and saw a loss, but Saturday I got on it showed a loss of 20 pounds ????. I knew this couldn't be right! Turns out I have a defective scale. I went to my follow up sleep study appointment and had the ma weigh me, I'm the same exact weight as I was a month ago. And yes I am tracking my food and doing light exercise. I just needed to vent, I'm feeling very discouraged right now and I'm only 1 month in ????. Anyone have any advice ?

They did explain during my initial consult, but it was a bit overwhelming taking in all of that information. Thank you for your response. I will definitely follow up with my insurance

I have a question for anyone that has had experience with Carefirst BCBS. I am currently enrolled in a PPO plan. The doctor that I am using is out of network. My in network and out of network deductibles ( oon deductible is $3200) will not be combined. If I don't meet my out of network by deductible by the time I am due to have surgery, will I be responsible for paying the surgeon the $3200 upfront? Or how exactly does it work? Any response is welcomed

How exciting! Hoping you get that approval soon. I am going with dr Greene, who happens to share an office with dr Cooke lol.

Hey there, I'm in Gaithersburg, but I actually work in Frederick I'm looking to get sleeved by the summer time. How far along are you in the process, and who is your surgeon ?

^^^they didn't make you provide any proof of the liquid diet attempt ?
