  1. My boss had the surgery and afterwards, she was always cold. As in, she had a space heater running during the summer months!! I hated having to work in her office due to that, lol!! I've heard that a lot of people run cold after they have the surgery. I sure hope I'm one of them! I hate to sweat and now that I live in the south, it's (the heat) even worse!
  2. I am in the same boat. I had to wait 6 months. I will be completing my last weigh in, nutritionist classes and stress test this month. I am so nervous about the insurance approval! My boss is having the same surgery and she was approved last month, so I'm hoping for the same! I'm just nervous that maybe I haven't lost enough weight? I should find out in August! The suspense is awful!
  3. I am about half way through the insurance approval process. I have about 5 months of weigh ins, my psych eval, and dietitian meeting completed. I still have the testing to complete. I should be finished with all my requirements by the end of July. I am just curious, in other's experience that have been approved by insurance, is weight lost before surgery highly important? My weight has fluctuated during the last 5 months at about -+10 pounds. I'm having a hard time losing weight (well, obviously, lol!). I'm just worried that I won't have lost enough weight to get approved. Any Advice?
