MHBTS

I'm similar. 10 weeks and 35 lbs. I had a 2 week stall with nothing. I started going to the gym this week and doing elliptical 30 mins and weight lifting. I'm also watching my carbs as I was eating oatmeal in morning. Switched it for eggs. The weight may not be as fast coming off as others but my clothes sure are getting looser. Let's stick in there. I'm sure with consistency we will continue to loose. Good luck. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Exact same weight loss and story here. Trying to be patient while I get all my Protein & Water but find it amazing as I'm having a hard time reaching 500 calories a day and yet have stalled on week 2. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

This happened to me when adding PBfit (peanut butter protein) to shake mix. It has 2grams sugar. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Had surgery same day and experiencing same thing. I learned taking smaller sips helps. Glad to hear it's normal. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Started this journey back in February. Met insurance requirements in August. The time spent was good as I had time to ponder on this new life decision. Tomorrow @8:30am surgery is scheduled. Excited to begin the new me. Hubby is taking before pics and measurements tonight. Good luck to all. Sent from my iPad using the BariatricPal App

Stayed 1 night. Dr said I could stay another night if not feeling well but I was eager to get home. I'm very sore. Didn't have much gas at all which is good. Keeping Water down and adding sugar free popsicle & broth. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

In hospital on night after sleeved. Observations : super sore, have pains on top of stomach. Weird they feel like hunger pain initially but after a burp I feel better. So gas. Nausea is real. They gave me meds but eating a few ice chips makes me nauseous. Just got up and walked 2 laps. So far so good. On my way. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I have UHC and just got my date. I just had to go to the doctors once a month for 6 months to weigh in. Not specific on # of days in between. Good luck. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I thought it would be quicker but since I had not regularly visited the doctor in the past few years, I didn't have enough recorded weights. I have united healthcare. The nurse manager wasn't a big help. She initially told me the weights were needed from past 5 years. This caused some delay. My recommendation for those that do not have recorded weights is to make your appointment with your PCP, discuss your reason and show up each month to record your weight. This extra time it took was beneficial as it gave me much time to think about this procedure. Excited. Scheduled surgery for Sept. 27th. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I was told I needed weights recorded from anytime in the last 5 years from any doctor. I filled the form out myself and faxed it back. Now they're saying the form needs to be signed and more recent. Any tips on how to get this form filled out ? I don't regularly see my PCP but have seen my GYN a lot in the past 3 years. My approval is waiting on this only.

Interesting follow-up. I was allowed to use the nutritionalist consultation as a weighin but during this time of gathering the weights, one of my earlier one expired - outside Insurances 2 year ( previously told it was 5) time span. Crazy. I'm trying to see if they will take that earlier one as it qualified when we submitted the paperwork. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Same happened to me. My insurance said my paper worked looked fine. I worked on getting my other requirements. Later insurance did not accept my claim as I need to have a dr. Sign off for 6 weigh ins. I could have scheduled these earlier and had met that requirement if they had just been more specific. I was very upset. However, trying to stay positive and thinking I will just keep going with this. I have 2 more months. Time does fly by. The extra time gives you time to mentally prepare. Just keep moving forward. Think, it will mean even more to you once you've satisfied those requirements. You can do it!!! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
