I am currently in the process of my 3 month supervised diet, have a bmi of 40 and high LDL. But my insurance does not actually require me to lose any weight during the 3 months. Does anyone know how hard it is to get approved with Health Plan of Nevada? Sent from my SM-N910P using BariatricPal

Yea ive heard horror storys of people gaining like 2 pounds and being denied. Sent from my SM-N910P using BariatricPal

Unfortunately sometimes even people that love us like family still dont like change. So its possible that subconsciously they want you to stay overweight because they are used to it and that might be why you are getting the negative comments. But just stay positive and remember that you did the right thing for you and you will be much happier and healthier in the future. You wont even miss those big meals.
