wow! Congrats everyone! What is everyone doing to lose the weight? How many calories and protein are you taking it? How much do you work out?

Hello- Just wondering how everyone did with weight loss at 5'7'' around 230lbs? I understand everyone loses weight differently- just wondering a around about and in what time frame?

After the nervous waiting and the pushing back of my surgery date.. I GOT APPROVED!!!! Surg set for June 28th! WISH ME LUCK!!!!!

Noyan... I just had to push back my surgery until the end of June.. I got into a schooling program and have to wait til then. The doc's office said they were going to submit it in the week that just past.. I havent heard anything yet.. I went for the psych eval, and pre-surg class too.... getting nervous...

I have a surg date of 5/20 with still no approval from the bcbs nj insurance. I am getting pretty worried because i submitted my disability paperwork for work because it needed to be in 30 days before going out... I am hearing and reading some horror stories and starting to get discouraged....

What kind of things did the insurance require of you?

I have NJ horizon bcbs.. I submitted to insurance and now playing the waiting game... I heard it was covered but with a lot of requirements... getting pretty worried....

Submitting to my insurance this week. I've jumped through the hoops of the psych eval and such. My BMI is 36 with 2-3 co-moribities. I have documented that I did weight watchers for 5 months in 2010, but I have not had a BMI over 35 for the past 5 years. Should I even bother getting my hopes up? My GI, OBGYN, Chiropractor, and Pulmonologist all wrote letters of recommendation. Need some advice...
