Finally down 4.5 pounds this week, Month 4 diet and nutrition class today and weigh in. Last month I was down 3 pounds, so baby steps are steps non the less. I can't wait, after today 1 more nutritional meeting and finally final Doctor Appointment 4/5/13. I hope everyone is doing well.

Thanks you too

I have UHC and have a 6 month diet and exercise program to complete. I was all set for Surgery Nov 30th when UHC came back denying surgery because I didn't have this requirement met. Speaking with them in Aug they said it wasn't required, frustrated but moved on. I just finished month 3 of 6 month program.all my other requirements are met. Good Luck.

Thanks, I know it will and ill be all the stronger for it.

Today was my 3rd Month of my 6 Month Diet and Exercise Requirement. I was down 3 pounds, not much but better then gaining. I can't wait until I'm done and can finally have the Surgery. I hope your all doing well. My Thoughts and Prayers Continue for you all.

I have United Health care Ca and my requirement was a 6 month Dr. Supervised Diet and exercise program

I have to do the same for my insurance, no way to dispute it, it's their mandatory requirement for coverage.

My elevated WBC levels are due to my Lupus, it can be caused by a number if things, mine is from the Lupus and Inflammation.

Congrats to you and Welcome aboard. I also am new and everyone on this site is great. Any question or concerns you have there is always someone ready to jump to your aid. I have a little over 3 months left of my diet and exercise program and then my surgery will be scheduled, I can't wait for that day.

Thank you, I was all scheduled for Surgery Nov 30th when UHC contacted my Surgeon and denied Surgery Approval because of this requirement, when we called UHC in Aug they said it wasn't required, so I just wanted to make sure that they weren't trying to scam me just to get more money. I will be out of pocket now because I now have to meet my deductible again, such is life. Good Luck and Best Wishes to you.

lovealways did you have to do 6 Month Dr. Supervised Diet and Exercise Program with UHC? Congrats on your upcoming date.

Keep in mind what your final goal is, that should keep it all in perspective. Best of luck to you. I can't wait for my date in April or May.

Good Luck to you

Good Luck and Congrats

Welcome, you are soon going to be a new Woman.

Good luck Debra

Best of Luck to you.

Thank you all, had my Gallbladder out in 1983 and started having issues with IBS about 10 years later. I hope my issues get better as well as all of yours too.

Does anybody who had IBS with constipation prior to Surgery still experience symptoms since having the procedure? Just curious. My Gastro Doctor says perhaps my severe bouts will get better after surgery. I hope and pray they will. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

My Surgeon say 7 grams of sugar and lower is good.

You look marvelous, keep up the great work.

Good luck, prayers on the way.

Congrats to you. I can't wait to hear those magical words myself, Four more months for me, and I'll be like a giddy little school girl. Best of luck to you.

Congrats to you. I can't wait to hear those magical words, 4 monthbs t
