KristenLe That's is so interesting and too me sounds like a healthy snack compared my late night snacking. Can't wait to stop the cycle of carbs/sugar. But I gotta figure out (maybe w psychologist as well) why I have to have a reward at night. We all know it's not hunger. Wonder post op, I've heard u have to stop eating a certain amount of time before bed!? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Thanks for responses it so interesting and helps prepare you to get your head in right space starting the process of WLS. My biggest thing is after all day doing for my family (which as a stay at home mom) which truly never ends. So late night when I finally get to sit down and watch a little TV when everyone is asleep, I crave the carb-sugar foods as my reward to myself. It's my comfort and weakness and will be hard to stop but I know I have to figure out a different way to reward my self late night after long day! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I have not yet had my surgery but am so curious about the ghrelin hormone and how it affects everyone having most taken out. Does anyone have the same cravings they used to before surgery? It's so exciting to read some people on here don't have those sugar cravings like they used to!!!!! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I'm in Florida and quoted $9000 that includes a year of follow up visits! I also he know he is a great dr as well. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I'm just starting my journey and have a lot of questions. How do some ins pay for WLS and some don't? If your plan says it doesn't cover it does anyone know if they ever will? Also, my BMI is 31 and don't know anyone that has done WLS but I thought the band is better for someone that is just obese, not morbid? Like sleeve is better for morbid obese? I really don't know though. Thanks for any help in advance! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
