Guest guest Posted September 11, 2003 Report Share Posted September 11, 2003 I really hope yours will. There are ladies here that have had it done pre-pg and it was paid for by insurance. They probably just need a referral from your doc and the correct codes. Good luck and let us know how it goes.

Guest guest Posted September 12, 2003 Report Share Posted September 12, 2003 e, Good luck on Monday. Several in the group had the cerclage prepregnancy. They can help better with the insurance question. But, it will probably come down to your insurance company and how the doctor codes it. They will have to do the preapproval. Talk with them about this. Love, P.

Guest guest Posted September 12, 2003 Report Share Posted September 12, 2003 I had Anthem when I had my pre-pregnancy cerclage.

Guest guest Posted September 12, 2003 Report Share Posted September 12, 2003 I forgot to tell you that I didn't have to have pre-approval. My Dr's office called to make sure it was covered and it was. They filed after the surgery and everything was covered. My surgery was also considered out patient surgery because I got out of the hospital the next morning and wasn't there for more then 24 hours. I have Anthem Century Prefered PPO and not an HMO. > > I am going to meet with a specialist on Monday to talk about having > > the abdominal cerclage done.

Guest guest Posted September 12, 2003 Report Share Posted September 12, 2003 Kara, Thanks for your response. I have been worried about them covering it. We can't really afford to pay for it ourselves, but we would find a way if we had to. e > > > I am going to meet with a specialist on Monday to talk about > having > > > the abdominal cerclage done.

Guest guest Posted September 14, 2003 Report Share Posted September 14, 2003 I'm not that far out but relationships are pretty much the same no matter what stage you're in, my advice, Tell him how you feel. Talk to him. Ask him to sit down with you and listen with an open mind and not say anything until you're finished, then you'll give him the same courtesy. Tell him you want him to be honest and straightforward as you will be also. Another question, is it just him being more affectionate now that bothers you or the fast that he's reaping the benefits of you being thinner and he didn't want you to do this in the first place? That's another topic for you to discuss. But always, talk to that person and be honest and what have you with him/her before you start suggesting counseling. If talking doesn't' work, then therapy would be a good choice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 14, 2003 Report Share Posted September 14, 2003 n, I'm not sure its that our husbands didn't think we were ok when we were obese, as much as it is exciting for them to have us as we are now (we're like new women and most men would probably love that after years of marriage, LOL). I know my hubby is worried about me losing too much since he likes a curvy woman, but I notice he gets turned on just watching me dress in the mornings (not that a stiff breeze wouldn't get him going anyway). I suppose men, just like us, have their physical preferences in women and your smaller size is probably just more of a turn on to him. Biggest thing to remember is that he is A GUY!!! Most of them base more on physical attractions than women do, they're visual and we're more emotional. That's probably why it bothers us to realize men find us more attractive now that we're smaller. **Don't dwell on past failures, dream of future successes.** ~~~~~~~~~~~~ Toi ~ Colorado Lap RNY Medial Bypass 12/31/02 -124 lbs St. Mark's Hospital Salt Lake City, UT Dr. Simper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 14, 2003 Report Share Posted September 14, 2003 I have yet to have my surgery but I already know my dh will be more affectionate. I know I am not as attractive now then when I was thinner. I am actually looking forward having his hands all over me again. When I was thinner my dh use to come up behind me and wrap his arms around me. He doesn't anymore. I miss all that. Maybe I am in the minority but I am looking forward to a better sex life among other things of course. I understand you anger towards your dh. I've had that same anger with my dh over other things. I agree that you need to sit him down and tell him how you feel. I do this with my dh sometimes and it's amazing how much better our relationship is after a talk like this. After 8 years we are still learning how to love each other more and these talks help a lot. God Bless you and I hope you can work out your feelings with your dh.

Guest guest Posted September 16, 2003 Report Share Posted September 16, 2003 Great advice , I can tell you that done let that angry keep festering. It will only drive a larger wedge between you. Get it all out in the open and trust what he tells you. Good luck and keep us posted.

Guest guest Posted September 18, 2003 Report Share Posted September 18, 2003 Hot-air popcorn. 3 cups = 1 point so you can eat what looks like a lot for not many points. All that crunching gives you something to do. A better idea is to find something to do besides eating. Did your mother ever give you the 'Well, if you're bored I can find something for you to do" threat? Find something that doesn't go with eating. Read a nice book that you don't want to get ketchup stains on. Do a craft project that would not benefit from a big grease sploch. Do some yard work: Chocolate and dirt may be the same color but they don't really go together. I have a needlework project that I am working on and I must keep my hands perfectly clean to avoid staining it. Great motivation. June -- question I have gained weight and isn't due to me being pregnant it is due to over eating... There is times I have a sore back and stomache pain and think it is hunger..LOL.. So eat or if bored I eat or stressed I eat... If am hungry but don't want to eat something with alot of points what does one eat?? How about when bored or stressed what do you do to take your mind off it?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
