I'm doing great. I Went in on Thursday and went home Late Saturday. He was gonna let me stay til Sunday but I was ready to go home and have chicken broth. they give you only water and ensure at Yale..But they let you stay longer if you wish. I am now 2 1/2 weeks out and I feel great, I feel normal. My energy goes down and I need a nap, but I am up and at em, getting out like normal. God is good!

Paula,
Thanks for the good wishes but unfortunately Dr. R called and said my insurance denied my request for WLS. There were some errors of weight from my PCP and I was denied.

Dr. R spoke to my PCP and said he would try to work with the insurance company but was unsure if I was eligible. Will have to wait and see.
Very disappointed...

My husband from start to finish was four weeks.  He did all pre op tests, had his initial visit and did all his required meetings and got approved in that time frame.  It was very quick.  We have BCBS federal plan.

This was prior to the necessary 6 mos waiting period that most ins cos require you to do, now.

WHAT AN ENCOURAGING STORY! KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!

Hi Ladies;

Just wanted to to share something that really has helped me on my weight loss journey.  It is my goal to avoid a tummy tuck after my WLS if I can help it.  So I want to tell you about two wonderful tools that have aided me tremendously in my weight loss.  I am 7 wk post op and  weighed 270 lbs.  Since then I have purchased a solar waist belt and solar shorts from Walmart.  And since using these tools, it has helped to shrink my cellulite on the back of my legs, hips, butt, waist and stomach like you would not believe! 

I exercise in them every time I go to the gym and  I have lost a total now and counting of 43 lbs, 7 plus inches, and 3 dress sizes since incorporating them into my routine.   I thought I would share this success with all of you so that you too can reap the benefits as I have done.

Shoot me an email if you found this to be supportive in your journey.  Thanks...
