I messaged BCBS asking if they received the letter from my surgeons office and in 24hours they replied that they did receive it and I have been approved for VSG!

I sent an email to the surgeons office coordinator and I'm waiting to hear back about a date.

This whole process is wait, wait, wait...

Congrats!! How exciting!

Who did you email at BCBS/ where did you find an email address? I thought about calling them tomorrow, but I may just email them tonight.

Congrats!!! That's awesome!! My last NUT appt is in 2-1/2 weeks and I'm getting more and more anxious daily. This waiting is the worse part! I heard that once Obama's health plan goes into affect, insurance companies won't be approving surgeries.

When is his plan supposed to go into effect? Hope it's not before November. I haven't finished my 6 mon NUT appt yet.

      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'. ???

        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!
