I was denied due to weight gain. I really think it depends on who reviews your paperwork. I've seen some people talk about how they gained weight and Aetna still approved them the first time. I would suggest trying your best not to have any more gains and make sure at your last weigh in that you weigh less or the same as your first weigh in.

Make sure you don't gain any weight during your 4 month supervised diet.

I tested positive for H. Pylori and still was able to have sleeve done.

I wouldn't buy to much Protein shakes and powder you might react to them differently after surgery. Protein shakes make me sick, they are too sweet

I am 7 months post-op. I have no regrets! It is differently a hard journey but I made the decision to have surgery for myself. Life is so much better now. It is a lifestyle change and a big commitment but its worth it.

I'm in... Thanks!

@@JamieLogical Thanks!! @@KristenLe thanks!! Look like we have similar stats.

I'll be 7 months post op next week. I'm down 106 pounds. I'm proud of my progress but I am still having issues with seeing myself as a smaller me.

I got surgery last year at 26. I wish I would have done it sooner. I've also struggle with my weight since I was a child. I lost 65 pounds about 5 years ago and gained it all back. I personally don't think you're too young. Good luck!

I didn't tell my employer I was having surgery. I just scheduled my time off.

@@steph_anie If you're an healthy wealth and your doctor isn't concerned I wouldn't pay her any attention. Some people have already started telling me I look "too little" mind you I'm 190 and 5'3 so I am still obese. I think its jealousy from some people. Congrats on reaching your goal!!

I've lost 105 pounds... I need to take a more recent pic in former fitting clothes

Congratulations!! You are an inspiration.

Lack of knowledge

Guacamole has good fat of course in moderation. The fritos probably weren't so good.

I did. I was denied due to weight gain during the program. I had to go through the appeal process.

Welcome and good luck on your journey!
