Suicidal thoughts with obesity?
sarabride2006 replied to princess_n_thep's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
Give you the moon: I went through the same thing, from my freshman year in college up until a year ago. Vomiting made me feel more in control and then I'd eat more right after. Horrible cycle. I agree--it wasn't just about being obese, it was what being obese didn't help...I'm so thankful to be alive now though. Things will be better. -

At work I have my Anthem medical policy. Do you want me to email it to you? My work email is sara.kattawar@cardinal.com if you want to email and I'll reply on Monday. -

Good Morning--Yes, I have BCBS Anthem. They rewrote their medical policy in June 2005 stating that the band was no longer considered experimental so it is an approved procedure just like the bypass. The denied it at first because my psychologist did not write her recommedation based on the medical policy. They were really tough wanting her letter to comply exactly.....
