Starting my journey

[akjajoo 2]

Recently met with a surgeon and will be meeting with a dietician for next 6 months. I'm ready to have my life back and hope all my medical issues go away. I'm very excited and determined to make this life change. Now I just have to send all my bottles of moscato to my sister so I won't be tempted ha ha.

I have Health Alliance Connect also. Ice only been with them less than 90 days. They are one of 3 managing healthcare companies that took over most of Illinois states Medicaid recipients. They have told me that some of my meds are not covered because of cost. They suggested others, and thankfully they work well for me. So far, they have honored the surgery approval I received before they took over most medicaid programs in Illinois.

Happy you are going to take back your life back your life ????! I've been there-done that 6 month pre op evaluation and behavior modification. It may seem long and trying at times, but it actually teaches you to eat mindfully; slow down, small bites, good Protein choices. I loved all my dietician appts! The Nutritionists rock in my opinion ????!! They are you greatest resource. You can do it! Keep that enthusiasm burning bright ????

I actually have Blue Cross Blue Shield through my husbands job. Truly it's the workplace that decides if the insurance can cover such a thing from what a rep at BCBS told me
