Ok so I go in a week and a half for my second weigh in and I am down 4 lbs!!! Which I know seems like it should be great news but its not!! I am right on the bubble for being at a 40 BMI ( which is what I must be to be approved for surgery ) and if I have it figured out right I can only lose 10lbs in the 6 months or else......no surgery.

WTC!! I can't believe I am actually mad because I am losing wt. lol It's a first for me. My DH has decided I might just be crazy with all the ranting I have been doing in the last few days. :thumbup:

On another note I was sure my Dr was going to have my appts made for me by now but I haven't heard anything from the office. I'm not really sure how long it takes to get in to see a nutritionist or psych or what the appt is all about but I am really ready to check those two things off my list. I'm also hoping that with the kids ball season starting it will help the time pass faster!!!:biggrin:

I Feel your pain! I am in the same situation as you! On my first appt. I was 227 lbs with BMI @ 40.3. The nurse cautioned me that if I were to lose 2 lbs I would not qualify. That was on January 26th. I completed almost all my tests except for psych. Two weeks ago at my follow up I weighed in @ 229 lbs and the nurse cautioned me again that the Dr. didn't like it when we gain weight during this process because he wants to make sure we take it seriously however I reminded her that if I lose 2 lbs I don't qualify. She just suggested with a smile that I keep the same weight. Now, two days ago my dietician appointment I am 234 lbs..OMG I gained 5 lbs in two weeks. The point is I am so nervous to lose the weight, gain the weight, and maintain the weight that its freakin driving me insane! The only benefit is that prior to my first appointment I had seven months of an approved weight loss documentated plan @ a weight loss center, fortunately I just have to wait for my psych appointment which is next week and then they will submit to insurance.

Thank you for your post it makes me feel that there is someone else in the same boat as me. I wish you good luck on your journey and I am sure with your kids ball season on the horizon you will be too busy running around the time will fly!
