Surgery approval/denial stories
Good Morning- I currently know 4 people in my close circle who want to start the WLS process. I know a couple of them have policies that don't cover it. (Kaiser and BCBS IL.) Did anyone get approved after an appeal with a policy that said it wouldn't cover it? I would love to be able to give them some positive examples.…

emotional eating
Ok....so before many of us would eat when we were sat or stressed right? Well, my life kind of crumbled under two weeks before surgery. Fiance left, forcing me into bankruptcy.

post surgery stomach pain
I am about a month out. I have been off of pain meds since the first week. All the pain seemed to be gone by day 10-12. I did have a couple tender spots. Now it seems that my tender area is a little more sensitive and the area has gotten larger. It isn't stabbing pain. More like a soreness. Did this happen to anyone else?

My new liquid/protein idea. Hopefully will end 3 weeks stall
I have a confession. I suck at my liquid and protein intake. Some days I am great at the protein, and some days...I barely can get 50-60grams. So.....I had an idea. Since I hate all things protein drinks, even the Syntrax is starting to make me want to vomit....I decided to take 3 scoops and put it in only about 15 ounces…

HELP! Shake suggestions
I despise shakes. I was the awkward kid growing up that thought milk shakes were repulsive and couldn't eat the melted ice cream at the bottom of the cup. Forget about cereal, I only poured enough on it to coat each flake. You can imagine the fear settling in right now with the pre op diet 2 days away! Everything I have…

So many changes coming up.... NO smoking? NO CAFFEINE?!
So excited to have my surgery on 7/23. I am not as scared of the two week pre-op diet as I am giving up caffeine, cigarettes, and my favorite....diet coke. I have given them all up before on separate occasions. But other than pregnancy, I have never had the willpower to give them up all at once. Has anyone used an…
