Anyone use New York bariatrics ?? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I'm a little confused, Some or most ins co require that you see a nutritionist for 6 months prior to approval . Are you supposed to lose weight in that timeframe or is it to show you can't lose weight and would benefit from the sleeve?? If you do lose weight do they not approve you ???

That's great , sounds like you did really well . How much have you lost so far Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

How fast did you return to work ? I am not telling anyone at my job . Not embarrassed in any way at all . I just don't feel it's anyone's business . My support system is at home . My plan is to NOT request time off of work and just call and say I had appendicitis or something and take off 2 weeks. Would that be enough time ?? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
