I get that lol i just think there is a line of when your good enough to follow a post of surgery diet adn when your not.. im worrying too much ! lol

@ DivaSoBlessedIm just goign to my first appt today ! prayers for you.. i wanted to see if you had an update? did you call today? you did get approved !!! woohoo !!!!!

@ nervousnelly719How are things going for u now?

I wish i could help here, I too have (had) PCOS. I was disagnosed at an early age of 13. Due to many reasons i had a complete hysterectomy at the age of 28 (2 years ago). I started a HRT (hormone replacement therapy) then but due to BP (blood pressure issues) and such i had to quit them about 4 months ago.. Since i had a complete i dont have periods but i am going thru menopause at the ripe age of 30 lol and i do have a hair on my chin that wotn go away lol.. and hot flashes INSANE !

Im new and just startin the journey with my first appt today ! BEST OF LUCK !

@@katanne is this the starting phase for you as well? i have done basiclly what u have i just wasnt sure if they see that as a failure that you cant do surgery either? thats my fear lol

Today is my very first appt with our local weighloss center at the hospital. I was told i will see the Doctor and the Psych today. Im curious exactly what the Psych asks lol that party freaks me out more than anything just the unkown? And do i need to ask about my insurnace requirments or will they have them? i want my own copies for my folder lol

Hi. I'm 30 and had to have a complete hysterectomy at age 28. 6 months ago I was told to stop my HRT, so Basiclly I'm going thru menopause (I assume). Does this put a damper on weight loss. Will I see weight loss a lot slower? Anyone else know the effects of hormones on surgery? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Hi ! Last week the office called and said they verified with insurance and my first appt is Monday 14th to see the doctor and psychologist. I've been trying to find what my insurance requires for approval and am having no luck. Today I got in the mail a benefits summary but it still doesn't show requirements etc? It also had included a paper for me to approve the office to discuss with them anything with my insurance etc. anyone else ? I have anthem BCBS Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I have hot flashes like no other lol Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

@@shrinkingkimber Thank you! I finally found and printed that but I wonder why some are different? My friend also has bcbs and she did not do a supervised diet for 6 months. That's why I'm confused. Either way lets do this ! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

@@Losin4good Umm what's the trick for that much? Wow! I can only pray Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Found this but strange my friend has bcbs and didn't go thru half this... So who knows. I assume I need the 6 months and my pcp didn't send me there so I'm hoping they follow thru with me and the recommendation? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I found this online... But it's weird to me that my friend has bcbs and her requirements were not like this so maybe different for each company or something? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I stopped them about 6 months ago due to increase in bp and the nephrologist said it can contribute to my already really high pressures . Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Thank you! I have my first appt on Monday I made myself a folder with my history, med list, allergies, extra copies of things and my ID insurance etc. trying to be prepared .. I wanted to have a list of requirements etc. so I guess I need patience and wait till Monday lol. The folder I created ! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Also plan to add a section for daily food log ,,, and even a diary section for good moments frustrated moments etc. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

@@coleycole127 I got some paperwork and kinda took it the same way. I see doctor for first time Monday so I will see. All bcbs policies r different so I'm not sure if that's it or what. My friend didn't have to do any of the 6 months weight follow.. She did some reguakr testing and her 4 classes required by the facility and had surgery within 3-4 months of starting program. So I guess all are different. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
