  2. I am going through the gastric sleeve process with true results. I just started again so my projecgted sleeve date will be 2/2016. My insurance requires 90 days 3 nut visitis. Can't gain 1 pound through the process, and A psych consult. My main concern is gaining weight during the process or loosing too much weight and not getting approved, I really scared to not get approved ! any one else feb 2016 ? or been through the process with aetna ? I'm sooooo scared !

  4. It went good. But true results staff blew me away with there customer service and support. Plus it's cheaper out of pocket and I don't owe anything up front.

  10. Hey lovelies ! Doing my 3 months for insurance right now. Supposed to lose one pound a month. Not sure how this is possible but sure not to gain any weight.
  11. I so excited ! I just can not hide it ! Doing my 3 months required my insurance. I can not gain any weight during this time. The goal is to lose 1 pound a month. THIS IS NOT POSSIBLE. Also they said I wont be able to drink soda anymore ! This is a huge life change for me. But I'm ready for it ! anyone else lurking doing their required months by insurance ? Who will be starting their pre-op diet in december ? Lets be friends.

  27. What kind of insurance do you have ? Is it Aetna ?
  28. Thank you everybody ! I think I'm going to call dr. Nick
  29. I wanted to go to Kim bariatric for dr Kim but my insurance won't cover dr Kim. So who has had dr. Holden ? Also do they, in house, the 3 months required supervised dieting in other words do they have their own NUT ? What other doctors are there in Dfw?
