I feel you! I just got approved today, and am meeting Surgeon to schedule on Tuesday. I keep thinking I'll be the only person that can't lose weight with bariatric surgery.

That's kind of what I figured. Looks like you've done GREAT! Tummy Tuck! Is that hard to get insurance to approve? Or do they at all?

I've just been approved today by Healthlink after a 6 month physician supervised weight loss program. (You all know how THAT went, if I could do it THAT way I would have) and now I have to go on the liver shrinking diet. I"m seeing lots of different diets. All liquid, South Beach, or none at all? My BMI is 42, and Dr. said I wouldn't have to be on it a LONG time, but still. I have to meet the dietician on the 19th of Feb. Any suggestions how to get thru this part?:biggrin2:
