This video helped me get my head around the whole why not "just eat healthy small potions and exercise" thing. This Dr. has a bunch of great videos. https://youtu.be/Vz8eOWCxKcg Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Great results. Did you go bypass or VSG? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I'm two months in to my required six NUT (UHC) appointments. BMI 40+ with all the co-morbids. All other req met. Hopefully approval will be quick when I finish NUT appointments in December and surgery in Feb/March. I was hopeful to get surgery done this year as deductible is met. 46 6'3" HW 411 CW 375 Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
