I warned my boyfriend that my life was going to revolve around my surgery. I warned him that I would find myself talking about it all of the time. I let him know that at any point, it gets to much to kindly tell me to shut up. He is my partner in life

Went to my psych eval yesterday and met with my Nutritionist for the last time. All I had to do was go pick up my medical records from a place I went to last year and I would be set. I would have to complete my blood work and I could submit my info to

I have to leave Aetna for at least 6 months (didn't fulfill my hourly requirement thru my job) I was told COBRA would keep everything the same but I am finding myself stumbling from one road block to another and was hoping someone could tell me if ther

I have never had insurance for long periods of time. I hardly ever went to the Doctor as a child and as an adult the insurance coverage was always spotty or non-existent. My current insurance provider Aetna, said I needed PCP records but my surgeon sai

My employer just informed me that since I accepted their offer to work 4 days a week from Jan to July '15,( since we were so slow) that I won't qualify for Health Insurance from Sept.1 to Feb '16. So the 3 months of pre-auth prep I've done is wasted. M

I find myself coming back to this site more and more often. I need positive reinforcement because the thought of having surgery is scaring the crap out of me. I have never had surgery. I have never been admitted into the hospital. I have an extreme fea

I am only in the 1st month of my 6 month insurance required time and I am crawling up the walls. I have started to check off my list of Dr.s appointments and have started to change my diet, but I swear this is all moving at a snails pace. I keep going

I really just wanted to thank people for posting their before and after pictures. When this journey to a new life gets rough, those pictures are a visual reminder of why we are doing this and how FANTASTIC we are going to look. So, again....THANK YOU!
