Never felt any restrictions on liquids...solids a complete different story...my idea of pigging out at 18 months is 3 slices of pizza...could eat a whole damn large by myself before surgery

I am praying it doesn't hold me back, getting approved would be a great way to start the new year~!
Wish me luck. I feel like it is taking forever for them to submit. I am a nervous wreck.

So I am just about 7 months out since my surgery. I can honestly and easily say this surgery was the absolute best decision of my life. My highest weight was 433 lbs and my surgery weight I was 396. I am now down to 230 lbs even with a total weight loss of 203 pounds. Anyone having any doubts about this surgery all I can say is do it!! I was terrified but it was the best thing I've ever done

I have to see the surgeon next Tuesday and then they turn in my paper work so I am keeping my fingers crossed. Sent from my SM-G928V using the BariatricPal App

On my third diet visit, I gained about 4 pounds and totally freaked out, worried that it would affect my final approval. The nurse told me that the 6 months are to discuss and evaluate my eating habits and not focus so much on losing weight. Talk about relief! Of course I'll eventually have to get approved by my insurance company (Anthem BCBS), but it seems like my surgeon's office processes so many of these bariatric requests every year that they have to know what they're talking about.
