Hi I have not been around for a while but I am back.  Today I made a visit to the Drs office and had a fill. Iam up to 9cc now. Its been about a year since I went to see the doctor and I was at 8.5 cc. When he took out the fill I had I only had 8cc. Last year I weigh in at 301, today 291... I didnt really try to lose all that time, just did not want to go pass 301. On 1-15-08 I deceided to try it again. My weight was at 298 then... So here i go again.

Hi There, My husband is retired from the Federal Government. He worked for the Office of Inspector General Downtonw Denver.  Carla  I have BCBSPPO FEP105 US Government. 

Who do you work for if you do not mind me asking.  As I also work in Denver a d have BCBSIL.  I know a few with the insurance the did not pay for the plastics for the tummy but one did get the girls lifted. Shellie

Geena, You are doing so well for being just a year out. Go with the flow and you will loose the other 43 pounds. Just remember Rome wasnt built in a day. Just stick with the program and it will fly off. I lost 100 the first year then I lost 50 the next.  I did have plastics, ARms, Lower Body Lift and a butt lift a year out and I should have waited. I was antsy. My insurance denied it but I fought it. I had Pacificare at the time. I know for a fact that BCBS wont pay for any plastics related to Weight Loss surgery. I checked into. I have BCBS from the Government. I have the PPO.  I know some folks from Illinois that have the BCBSIL PPO and it wont pay for plastics either. Good luck with getting BCBS to pay for plastics it is hard. I had a lump from my arms and BCBs gave me a hard time but I faught it. Carla 

I had my surgery on the 29th at St. Joes, with Dr. Chae.. Everything went great.. expect my heart rate went up and over 140, normal is 75.. so i was given alot of meds to stop it from getting that high, they got it stablized.. so i'm home now with a drain and alot of gas pains lol
