That sounds EXACTLY like what I was told too. Although I do have the psych eval and 2 year weight history. I have met my out of pocket too and I am trying for August. Keep me updated on how long the approval takes? Thanks!

Hi! I am really excited to start this journey and I was really happy to stumble across this website. I recently attended a weight loss surgery seminar, and I am really excited to get started. I (like a LOT of people) am extremely worried that I won't get approved through my insurance. Does anyone have experience with United Healthcare? Are they pretty easy to get approved through? My plan says I need complete a supervised diet and exercise program through the surgery team, but it doesn't say for how long. I'm trying to get this done this year, since my husband and I have met our out of pocket max, and everything will be covered at 100% now. Surgery included (I checked). I am worried that if I have to do the 6 month diet, I won't get a surgery date in time for it to be covered at 100%. Advice, suggestions, experience, strength, and hope?

I totally understand! On my back I feel like my neck is choking me and turned around I cant get the spots that need it. There is just so much of me. 30 lbs ago I was way more into it! My husband loves me no matter what, but I am looking forward to more fufillment!

Hi Sandy! I am about the same stage! I have been doing the 3 meals and LOTS of Water, haven't given up smoking yet either. I am trying to take baby steps in this whole thing. There are so many changes to make! Feel free to pm me and we can do this together!

I'm trying to get into the swing of things before having my surgery, which if course includes working out. I joined a gym and met with a personal trainer who emphasized strength training, but I also hear that cardio is more important. I seem to be getting conflicting information and I just don't know where to start. Especially with strength training, I can't afford the personal trainer and I don't want to get hurt. Suggestions?

Good Luck to you. I'm 6 months post op &-have lost 112-lbs. It's time to change your life
