food that starts to dissolve in your mouth with .... *shuts up and sips her

protein shake...* anyway... but I went into it with my guns fully loaded and

spare ammo on my hip... I had 3 letters from my doctors.. a letter from a

shrink... and a family profile... the approved me first go around.. I have

BCBS... took about 4 weeks from my initial consult to get it...

I had lap... I prayed.. oooh did I pray... I was SOOO worried I wasn't gonna

Noooooooooo, just the " recommendation " from the surgeons, i.e., the

" cutters " . Not all surgeons have in their heads that proximals need the

supplementation too. Therefore, if the surgeon you have chosen does

proximals and says " get your protein from food " , just " nod " and say " okay "

and drink a couple of shakes every day too. After all, it's people on this

list who have " walked the walk " so to speak and find that they feel sooo much

better with the shakes - and they " look " it too!

Sophia - I would say wait a couple of weeks then call the insurance company to

confirm that they have received your paperwork and ask how long it will take to

know if you've been approved. A lot of the hassles have to do with the right

dept. not receiving your paperwork so then you have to call the surgeon's office

and make sure they get it sent to the right place, because it seems like the

insurance company is not capable of transferring paperwork from one dept. to the

next. It's a real pain in the butt. Good luck with it.

Nice to meet you too. When I had my revision, I had more intestine

bypassed, which made me a distal (distals have more bypassed, proximals have

less, medials are in the middle).

Hey Sophia,

I'm so glad you found the GBIC! It's a great source of information

and support.

I encourage you to call your insurance company and ask them if they

cover WLS (weight loss surgery) and go from there. Sometimes there are hoops

to jump through (providing weight loss attempts/diets, dates, etc.), and

sometimes your surgery is approved based on your current weight (100+ pounds

over your ideal body weight) and sometimes it's approved based on your

current weight and other health problems called comorbities (co-morbs).

About the protein shakes.. I encourage you to visit Mom <A

HREF= " http://www.vitalady.com/ " >Vitalady.com

- Protein Supplements, Vitamins & Minerals, and Safe Snacks!</A> had

WLS eight years ago and started a company to provide support, information and

nutritional supplements specifically for WLS patients. How cool is that..?

There are a zillion products out there but I love Champion Nutrition's

Pure Whey Stack and their ProScore 100, both in chocolate.

Take good care and God bless your WLS journey.

Love,

Hi!! Nice to meet you!!! I have found out more information on WLS in the

past few days in this group that I have for a few months of research!! You

are all so wonderful and informative.

I have already ordered samples from Vitalady and from the email they should

be here by March 5th. I am waiting!

I called my insurance company before starting the whole process and they do

cover the surgery. You just have to be morbidly obese for 5+years before

they will consider it. Then you have to start jumping through the hoops.

Where are you in VA Beach? My Aunt and cousins live in the Princess Anne

area..
