Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyy! Congrats!

Ducks lol ducks.

I already have 6 pills to take a day. Great lol.

I have Blue Cross Blue Shield of Massachusetts. PPO My question is do I have to have had a BMI of 40 or higher for the past 5 years? Here is my weight and bmi history (I am 5'3): 2010- Weight: 161 lbs BMI: 28.5 Over Weight 2011- Weight 198 lbs BMI 35.1 Obese Class 2 2012- Weight 232 lbs BMI 41.09 Morbid Obesity 2013- Weight 205 lbs BMI 36.31 Obese Class 2 2014- Weight 197 lbs BMI 34.89 Obese Class 1 2015 *current*- Weight 250 lbs BMI 44.28 Morbid Obesity Will I still be able to get the surgery with this weight history? I'm so confused on this.

Congratulations ! Awesome.

Omg I'm so sorry. I don't know if it's safe to eat those things yet. I just know nutritionally what you should eat. Wait for someone else to answer. Sorry about that.

Bocas burger or turkey burger would be the best

Just patty

I am betting most will say stay away from pizza. Everyone ive talked to stays away from white carbs. Burgers I read r ok if they are lean.

I am so sorry this happened to you. That is rough.

This makes me really happy to see! You go with your bad self!

I usually buy a size up that is looser cuz I know if I get ones that fit good I'll gain and they won't fit in a month. Makes me sad that is how I'm living but I'm ready to change all that.

Yay. Awesome. I don't even have a surgeon yet. Waiting on a letter from Cleveland clinic telling me what to do next.

Congats on your date!

You will see most on here use NUT as short for nutritionist. I just started my appointments on 8/21, had my surgeon consult, psych testing, 1st nutrition visit and this Friday I meet with a medical weightloss specialist. After that I have 2 follow ups 9/29 and 10/30 with my nutritionist. After which she said they will start the insurance submission. And then it's the waiting and hoping/praying game. Let me know how your appointments go, nice to have someone going through same medical facility, perhaps we can share our experiences and make sure we are getting the same advice, information Definitely we should do that! What insurance do you have? Is the supervised diet required by the clinic or by your insurance?

I haven't had my first appointment yet but am confident I will qualify and insurance will approve. What is a NUT?

I'm near Cleveland and am going through Cleveland clinic.

Hit says I have to post 1st so here goes
