I have a little less than 2 months before we submit for approval. My weight fluctuates a lot (were talking almost 10 lbs), and at my first class my weight was up. So now I'm so worried I will be denied because of it. I'm trying to stay under my first weight to *hopefully* make up for it. Has anyone been denied for their weight fluctuations? ??

Does your insurance require you to lose weight? Mine just required that I have a physician/dietician supervised diet.

I did lose weight for the first 5 months and then stalled. I gained some weight back in the 3 months between the end of the diet and when the paperwork was submitted to insurance. It was submitted on Tues and approval on that Friday. So it did not seem to effect my approval but each insurance company has different requirements.

My insurance, Aetna, says no NET gain from the start to the finish. I gained 3 pounds the first month but overall had a net loss of 6 pounds so double check your insurance requirements.

My insurance doesn't require it and they aren't clearly stated like aetna. But I'm worried they'll deny because I have such a large range.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
