Congrats!!! You look great.

I have Tricare and overall I didnt feel that the process was that hard. The big thing for me was that they wanted proof of history that I had high blood pressure that required medicine because I was not heavy enough to qualify based on weight alone. Best of luck to you.

Thanks for responding. My BMI is at 43 so I think I'll be good. I do have another question though, who was your surgeon and did they require a 6 month diet? I'd really like to get this in as soon as possible, so I'm hoping for a surgeon that doesn't require a 6 month diet before putting it in. I'm going to the seminar next Tuesday and then next Thursday I meet with my pcm.

Went back to the doctor last Wednesday for my 2-week Post Op visit and had lost 22lbs. I was very excited, but now that I'm eating real close to solid foods I got on the scale this morning and it was up 7lbs. I have been staying away from bread, starches and just eating veggies and a little fruit. I have also ate some Beans and meat to get my Protein in. I haven't even been getting 1,000 calories day in, which is much less than I was eating before. I'm just stumped and can't figure out what I've done wrong. A friend had it done about 2 months before me and she's already lost 70lbs. Please help me get on the right track, because apparently I'm not doing something right.

HI!! I'm in Dover as well. I don't have a surgeon yet. Do you mind me asking what insurance you are going through. I'm going through Tricare and I'm hoping it's simple.

Thanks!

Congrats!!!
