I'm 5'8 also!! Yea me either! Never did i think mu weight would be to light for anything!Lol yea I've been eating lol my new surgeon @ seminar if ur borderline do the diet but dont!! So that's what I'm doin...my doc who's surpervising my diet said same thing he's awesome!

My insurance requires me to do 6 month doc supervised diet.... And my surgeon says its ridiculous they just do it to throw a Detour and try to make u get frustrated and give up! His office is awesome I saw where u said they won't talk to u until u have met all of their requirements ..my surgeon has told me to call email anytime ..so I guess I'm blessed...now having said all that my 6 months won't be up til APRIL!!! Ughhh!!! So I completely understand the out of patience part!!
I wanted surgery YESTERDAY lol!! Good luck and January will b here before ya know it girl!!

I think that anyone who has never struggled with their weight seems to be the most "judgmental".the only people who know I going to do this is my hubby &my oldest daughter ,I am a mom of 4.my daughter is super supportive.My dad would flip..due to worry,my in laws would just tell me how stupid I was..and just lose it naturally..easy comming from a mom n law who has been tiny her whole life.i am 5'8 and never know what it was like to be in her shoes..I just want to be happy and healthy in my own skin without worrying about people's comments ..this is why I have chosen to be selective about who I tell!

Guess I shouldn't be complaining but.. I go to doc and my BMI is borderline to low. While doc will do bypass he says the girl who handles insurance blew the wind outta my sail.. My BMI was 39.5 I hve no comorbidities ... She need records showing my past 3 year weights ( can't remember back that far what my BMI would have been... I know I was over weight tho! Keeping my fingers crossed it was an exceptae BMI ... Uggh all my life my weight has been an issue !! Now it maynot be?? Seriously:( I know I should like a whinny baby I'm just so worried I won't get approved any one else been thru this? Btw my screen had disappeared. So I cannot see what I'm typing! Sorry if there r miss spellings or sentences that are strange!!

Aww Ty!! I have been praying hard about this journey.. I just want to be healthy & happy! I am a believer in Christ and I know He will guide me every step of the way! Congrats to u keep me posted on ur progress! Ty again for ur sweet words!:-)

I have bcbs alabama hopefully they will b easy to deal with: praying!

Just curious what insurance u have? Congrats! I go to my first appoint tomorrow my insurance requires 6 month supervised diet which I started oct9...so I am in the beginning stages!

Ok my husband has somewhat resided to the fact I AM Doing this! Now that I am the insurance provider ..before he was and refused for me to do the surgery..he let me know really quick today I was taking the "easy way out".while I some what understand this mentality ..I just don't understand why he can see how important this is to me? Our marriage in my eyes is secure we have a great and I do mean great relationship .anyone else going or gone thru this?
