You'reGonnaHearMeRoar 25 Posted July 13, 2015 I was approved for surgery(by office) in January, only to find out that my insurance required a six month supervised weight loss program. The past six months have just practically flown by. I've finally completed my doctors program! I'm just waiting to here back from my insurance. Hopefully I will be getting a surgery date soon;) I had to go on steroids twice(ms flare up) during the past six months, and still managed to lose 15 additional lbs! I can't wait to finish this journey;) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

fldianna 8 Posted July 13, 2015 Did you do the 6 months with the surgeons office? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DeLiGhTfUlLy DeTeRmInEd 45 Posted July 14, 2015 (edited) I'm on the same boat only it's been 8 months already and I am still waiting on insurance approval. I wasn't put on steroids though and have lost a good 70 lbs but I see myself the same. Why is it that everyone else can notice and I can't?? Idk if this has happened to any of you.

You'reGonnaHearMeRoar 25 Posted July 14, 2015 Thanks so much! I'm really excited;) And yes, I did the six month supervised diet at my surgeons office. Basically it was just meeting once a month with his nutritionist. I had to weigh in and review what I was eating. I also had to get a letter from my PM Doctor clearing me for surgery.

You'reGonnaHearMeRoar 25 Posted July 14, 2015 Wow! 70lbs! Thats awesome! I definitely have had similar thoughts. My family and friends have noticed my weight loss, but when I look in the mirror I don't notice it as much. Hopefully that will change after surgery. What insurance do you have? Mines bcbs of Ga(live in nv)? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DeLiGhTfUlLy DeTeRmInEd 45 Posted July 15, 2015 YourGonnaHearMeRoar I received the approval call today, I'm Super Excited!! Now I have to wait on the call from Surgeons nurse. I have "Molina Salud". They're paying 100% full cost for surgery. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
