  1. Hey lady, I work for the insurance carrier and Like you said each policy varies. You included whatโ€™s called an SBC you will need to request for the actual Contract or benefit booklet to get the details. You should also call the insurance company to ask the question and what are the requirements. Good luck ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿฝ

    Upcoming Surgery

    I am still in the pre op stage and if God willing I should have my surgery July 2023 with this dr. Did you have your WLS with this dr? How was your experience?
  3. Did your care team instruct you to weigh yourself daily? That would be too much for me to weigh myself daily since our weight fluctuates.

    @rickeyb how are you getting home from hospital? Are they allowing you to take a Uber home too?

    Surgery Shaming Should Be A Thingโ€ฆ

    You go gurl you look good! People are very judge mental these days. I havenโ€™t had the surgery still in pre op stage but I plan on telling NO ONE but GOD that I had the surgery!
  7. Yikes I would have anxiety too ๐Ÿ˜ฎ. I would love to know the answer to this just in case I will be in the same boat for my future surgery!

    Super sad

    Why was it pushed back? Look on the bright side you have a few extra weeks to get your mindset right for this life changing surgery? ๐Ÿฅฐ๐Ÿฅฐ
  10. This was very helpful, thanks for sharing
  11. I am just starting my WLS journey so I have no feedback but will follow this thread. I think I will stay off the scale for the first month after surgery or only get on at my follow up visits. I wish you the best of luck
  12. Iโ€™m in the beginning stage ๐Ÿ˜ฉ๐Ÿ˜ฉ and just started the 6 month process in January so Iโ€™m praying that my surgery date will be in July

    How long until surgery?

    I believe insurance companies have up to 30 days to approve or deny coverage. I would keep checking your member portal every few days. Or call customer service

    well shoot!

    I hope everything works out and that sucks that they did not confirm with you at the time
