African American Sleevers



Recommended Posts

Hey ladies hope all is well!! Sipping those fluids.. im sipping beef broth as I type one ounce every 15 min.. its actually better tasting then chicken broth. Any who I was having some incision pain.. and tightening.. so uncomfortable. Ugh my surgeon called and checked on me.. (I love him) and resting cause this body is tired!!. He also changed my liquid pain meds because the loratab was causing a rash. I hope every one is in good spirits!!!

Hi

Today, I called the coordinator and she submitted my case to BCBS il on the 12/27

So, I call the insurance and they denied me. Smh

Saying that my policy recently excluded WLS and the diagnosis of Obesity.

My weight is 257. Now I'm getting the run around. Because I believe most of their info isn't true. They have told me since last July that I'm covered.

Could it be that the plan changed January 1st. Can the insurance grandfather approval since you started the process prior to January.

That is a good idea. But waiting for the insurance Supervisor to call me back. My Hr lady was not aware of any changes. My coordinator is slow with follow up too. So this is frustrating been in this program since June /12.

I think my diagnosis that the coordinator sent in is wrong instead of obesity, it should be Morbid

Obesity my bmi is 42.8. I'm very frustrated.

Thanks

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
