Pre-op appt went great. I'm down 16 lbs. since my surgery. I have no problem with my protein i'm getting down 70+ grams of protein in a day. I'mstill working on my fluids.

Hi hope all is well with you and your family! I really appreciate the info you shared with me but, unfornately I don't have bariatric resources as a benefit on my plan. I just received a letter from my ins. company saying that if I wanted to send in any information that will assist my appeal I could do so. I'm thinking about writing a letter and sending in some pictures of me over the years.
