That's great. Did they ever tell you why you got denied ? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I want to say something. I'm not saying this because it was a diet either. So in my spiritual walk with God there are times when I fast. I fasted for a week. It was a fast that consisted of No food until after 4pm . No meats, No Sweets, No Soda, No Alcohol, No Fried Foods. Even though it was Not a diet I felt amazing. Yes I was hungry at times but then I sipped on Water. While doing this I was gaining strength to be able to do this liquid diet and let his life style change. Once the fast ended I wanted some grilled chicken and turkey burgers . Let me say this my stomach is extremely bloated. I feel like crap right now I was nauseous . It just doesn't feel right. I believe we all can do what we set our minds too. I know believe that I can do this. I probably will not have surgery until the end of Dec but I am going to cut out friend foods the way I use to eat them. And just do chicken and fish. I have a pack of country style ribs in the freezer I will cook and get rid of but after that I must change. I felt lighter and more energized with out eating all that junk everyday. Oh and I lost 12 pounds . Amazing. Glory to God. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Hey guys good afternoon. I was told to get the ball rolling with the diet and exercise before surgery. I will be honest, I tried and I failed. I joined the gym and have not been once. I do drink lots of Water though. However before I see the nutritionist how important is it to take in Protein and Vitamins before my surgery? I will most likely have my surgery in Dec or early Jan because I'm in school and want to finish that first. My nutritionist visit is Oct 4 2016. So Should I get the ball rolling now honestly or do I have a little time to play? I want some serious answers No Play here lol. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

So I was talking to someone today about the Gastric Bypass surgery and she had it about 8 years ago. She just kept telling me well you know your going to have loose skin. A lot of it. I'm just telling you because a lot of pool don't think they will. But you will have a lot of loose skin. Ok lady thank you I heard you the 14 th time. I know I will have loose skin but I would rather have loose skin then not be able to fit in a seat comfortable , or go to movies with out having to have a seat in between my spouse and I so I have room. I can't wait to get on a plane or hell even plan a trip and not care about getting on the plane because of how tiny the seats are. Trust me I love how beautiful I am . I know I'm a really pretty woman but this weight has to go. Loose skin or not. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

They cover the surgery full coverage if I meet the requirements. And I do. I was just confused. I honestly thought all BCBS plans were pretty much the same. Thanks anyway guys. She shut the conversation down. Good night Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

The lady who commented above you said that she has BCBS too and she didn't have any problems . Explain what hoops? What was your starting weight? What did you do for your requirements? Did you do everything asked? What state are you located in? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I heard with the sleeve you all do not get hungry. Is this true? Also has anyone had the sleeve and weighed over 350 lbs before surgery had much success in the first year? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Not that I don't think I will get hungry but supposedly you should not get hungry with Sleeve. I also hear it takes longer to loose the weight. I'm already planning my vacation and I don't even have a date yet. Lol so I just want some of this weight off . Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Ok. Gotcha just wondering. My surgeon is still allowing me to make up my mind what surgery I want. This is life changing so it's a hard decision. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

What do you mean by head hunger? My mind went everywhere with that. Im not sure what that really means. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

You sound just like me @@bostonmama minus all the caffeine I don't drink much of that anyway. I usually always have Water. My thing is as much as I drink water I don't feel like it's enough. I've tried several Protein drinks and my favorites are Premier Protien and Pure Protien both I can get from Walmart. I have to get my Vitamins. However my sister sales the spray vitamins so I'm going to ask the nutritionist about those and if I can use those I will . That way I do t have the issue with trying to get pills down. I hear they are great for Bariatric patients. Well best of luck to you honey. I was just being honest about everything you know. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

My sister had Wls 2 years ago. She uses it. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Yeah honestly I'm not worried about the loose skin. I just don't want to loose the shape I have. If I do then ok I will just deal but honestly I just want to be healthier and smaller. I have so many other things to worry about but looking like Teyana Tayor. she looks good though. I just know my body will not look like that after being this heavy all my life . My face I pray don't change I've always been gorgeous . Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Ok. So for me my doctor didn't really say it was a six month diet. However I weighed in every month. I went up I went down. She said that was fine that's what the insurance company wants to see. So she didn't really push me. I just have to do this on my own. Like always Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
