I have to admit this makes me so sad. I feel for you. My husband complains about my weight on the back of his bike but wants me to be happy the way I am. I wish they could make up their minds.

I am sorry you are going through a similar situation. I don't get the impression my husband feels insecure at least lately. I feel like he has one foot out the door. I will be interested to hear if he comes around after your surgery. Good luck

I really hope that is true with my insurance I want surgery this year so I can work on this year's deductible not next.

I had gained a lot of weight on steroids and was experiencing joint pain and my pcp sent me to a rheumatologist. I saw him for 3 years while I lost weight and came off the medication. Would this count?

I don't really understand the mentality of people who are not supportive of their love ones. Daisy did your husband tell you why he is acting that way? I find it is causing a big distance between us. As far as other people I heard people lose friends they are treated differently at work. After my experiences I don't want to tell anyone I don't have to,

I don't know how it affects him but I was a vegetarian for 2 years and he was miserable. I ruined his life in his words. I ask him all the time and he never has an answer that makes sense. I am going to do this because I can't win no matter what I do. A simple diet throws him off.

He says I will be ruining his life. He loves eating. He is afraid something will happen. He would NEVER admit to jealousy. He just needs to see it will be ok.

Thank you for giving me the male perspective. I talk to him all the time. I believe that communication is essential in working through this. I love my husband and would never hurt him. The issue is that he thinks that I am not taking his feelings into account but he is wrong. I thought about everything. He needs to take how my life is into account. It is for both of us even though he disagrees.

I don't know exactly what I want to look like but I can't wait.

I can't wait. This might sound strange but I want to dress like a girl

I am curious

Congratulations on finally meeting oop. They told my dr its covered just wouldn't tell them or me criteria.

I really hope that is what happens for me. As far as my sister she says that she is happy she had the surgery but when I try to talk to her I get the impression she is trying to talk me out of it.

I notice he mentions my weight now that I am starting my journey. My sister had the surgery and I get mixed messages from her. I told a woman at work and she was very supportive.

Thank you I will but boy would it be easier if he was on board

I never thought I would say this but I am going to do this for myself. If he doesn't want to be a part of it that is his choice. I am scared to be alone but he is being selfish

Fallon faxed the criteria to my dr. I don't know what it is but at least now they know.

Thank you

The provider goes to the interqual site and answers questions and based on the answers give a denial or acceptance. The criteria is a secret because they don't want the public to know. I do billing for a Bariatric surgeon. I am going to try again next week.

I will have my study back on Wednesday so if they don't call my physician by then I will ask to speak with a manager.

I have some thinking to do.

I can see what you are saying. I guess I ask myself why is so many people choosing the sleeve.

I have another concern did anyone develop headaches or lose the headache?

Fallon

I got information on my deductible what they cover for services but the criteria is secret even to my doctor. They just wanted to know can the submit now or do they need me to have sleep apnea. Do I need to have 40 bmi or is 35 ok? I am frustrated. I had issues with the sleep study which I am taking tonight. I just want answers.
