Serious Overeating & Binging Problems Post Op
sasa_maria replied to sleeveduk96's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
The surgery won't change your thinking... It won't change your cravings. You'll still want the same unhealthy foods.. But you have to change your ways of eating. Get a job or a hobby so you're not sitting at home bored. The only one that can help you is you. -
I got a paper from my surgeons office saying according to my insurance I need 3 months of medically managed weight loss program but the insurance website says 6 months... So I called my insurance and she said it doesn't say for how long. Sweet baby Jesus someone help me here lol. I'm so frustrated. I thought this whole time I could have my surgery by June come to find out it could be in September... Anyone else have this problem?

Frustrated with my insurance..
sasa_maria replied to sasa_maria's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I did call and she said it didn't say.. Ugh! So frustrating. So I Googled it trying to see if someone else had keystone first and what they had to say.. I found something from 2011 saying that they didn't have one at all.. Who the hell knows. I'll have to ask to speak with a manager or something. It's so frustrating that noone can just give me a straight answer.. Even the people that work there. -
Favorite things you can do now that you couldn't before, or things you're looking forward to doing?

We avoid carnivals. We go to one while on vacation but there's always so many people with us so he can still have fun. It's sad when you can't enjoy those moments with your child. -

Two years of documented weight...
sasa_maria posted a topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
For my insurance to pay for vsg, I need two years of documented weight.. I don't have two years. I have almost one year and I have from 2008 I was obese but not severely obese. Did anyone have this problem? Will the insurance company take weight from 2008? Ugh. I'm almost done my preop tests and classes too. -

Ugghhh I'm pretty much done everything. I have my first nutrition class this week and I only need 2 more after that. I'm so irritated right now. -
Well that was a poor choice and if you keep making decisions like that, you will stretch your new stomach and everything you went through will be for absolutely nothing. You can do better. Be better. You got this!

What should I am making an appointment for my psych evaluation.. What should I expect?
-
Omg I just did my sleep study last night. Worst thing ever. I was up damn near all night. She said I did sleep enough to get a good reading but I was hooked up to all different wires and had a finger thing on and something up my nose.. It was horrible. I've been up since 4am. I'm exhausted. I cannot wait to sleep tonight. I wish they would've let me do it at home. They had wires stuck to my head... Ugh lol
-
What if you need a form filled out? How would you go about that?
-
Thanks. I read the form my Dr. Wants filled out. Its basic questions but idk what the psychologist will ask and how long they'll take. Ugh lol. I hate talking to people about personal stuff.
