    I am just starting the process and currently a smoker. I am going to quit but in need of little help. Does anyone know if they would approved of the vapor e cigarette with no nicotine? I just like the fruity flavors. I quit smoking for over a month and my sister took my vape. Yes I started back..... It's so hard if you are smoker and everyone smokes at my job. Any input would be appreciated!

    So I went to the surgeon today and attended the seminar and spoke to the Surgeon. I have to do 4 months of dieting with the NUT and then they will process with my insurance. I now have a lot of appointments (blood work, EKG). I told my manager I was going to a cardiologist appointment because I don't want anyone knowing at work. So when do I sit her down to let her know about this upcoming surgery? How do I tell her? I don't want her to know that I lied to her. I need to take at least 2 weeks off and I just don't know what to do?? Any advice would be great (Her and I are close, but I just think she will try to talk me out of it)

    I have an appointment tomorrow to attend a seminar, meet the Dr and go over insurance information. I'm really drawing a blank on what questions I should be asking. I know the surgeon has been doing this for quite sometime and he has very good reviews as well. I'm just so overwhelmed and excited that this process is starting!!! Any input would be greatly appreciated. :)

    I contacted the insurance company and I read their requirements, I have an appointment with a Dr on July 21st. I was thinking, oh no! I've spent so much money on weight loss programs and it was a lot of money weekly. Does the Dr generally have a dietitian that you see? My BMI is over 40 so I'm hoping the process will not take that long. Thank You for letting me know!!

    My insurance requires that I have tried losing weight from a medical weight loss program within the last 12 months! Ugh.... I have tried so many things in the past (not within 12 months) and I have just given up. I have lost weight with numerous of programs which were very expensive and gained my weight back and then some. So do I now have to get a dietitian and spend more money trying to lose weight before they approve me for surgery??? So much money spent on things I've already tried for years! Any suggestions would be appreciated! Thanks in advance. I have Cigna (open access)
