I lost 8 pounds even though I cheated, and that was in one week where as in accordance with the diet I need to lose 4 a week... and I know I can lose way more before my surgery... they want me to lose as much weight as possible but mostly off my liver correct?

And what about Texas va hospitals

Did they go through a six month diet plan or anything ?

?

The VA fee program

Well I'm in the move program now... So I guess in 6 months after doing this and actually trying ill see my doc and hopefully I'll get what I'm asking for

Are u an army veteran?

Did any of you have to do that "Move" program for six months before you were approved for the surgery ?

What hoops did u have to jump through? And what part of Texas do u reside? Cuz I'm a military veteran and live in Texas also trying to have the procedure done

Does the procedure leave you with any noticeable scars?

Any BCBS texans?

Anybody have any particular VA oriented numbers to call about getting the procedure...

I have a 43.9 BMI at 5'7 280 pounds... Do u guys think ill qualify

Ok so I just got my military medical takin care of so I have free health care for the next five years so does that mean I can now talk to my medical docs about the procedure or do I need a secondary care plan?
