Food Addiction And Wls
I find myself not hungry at all. If i didnt have reminders on my phone, id forget to eat. To me now eating is like filling up the gas tank. It is much less about the experience, and trust me i loved the experience. To a tune of 357 lbs. Just had my one month post op and i'm at 261 today. You will really be surprised how little food interest you. It actaully freaked me out at first.

Nervous About Denial.
If you do get denied, don't give up. Keep trying! I've seen multiple stories on here where people were denied a couple of times before approval. For some ins. companies it seems that first request denial is standard practice. So, don't let a denial get you down, wear the insurance company down.
