I have my initial consult on January 24th. I had to go to an informational session prior to getting my consult scheduled. Luckily with my insurance I only have to do a 6 month supervised diet and exercise program. I have been seeing a weight loss physician for 8 months and thankfully my insurance will back date the past 6 months for me. All i have left to do is see a dietician and a psychotherapist and I am done with my qualifications! I am so excited to starts this journey. I have struggled with my weight my entire life. I am currently 29 years old, been married for 10 years, and have 1 beautiful daughter. I weight 260 pounds and I'm ready to be able to run and enjoy my daughter without being out of breath.

I have already met my six month minimum requirement for insurance. I also have all my other required appointments scheduled. My question is, I started my 6 month journey at 259 pounds (BMI of 49.1), the lowest I ever got in that 6 months was 251. I have always fluctuated between 255-257. I have never gone over the 259 that I started this journey at. I'm worried that insurance won't approve me if I can't lose more weight.
I have been on a very strict diet and going to the gym every other day meeting with a trainer. My body just won't lose the weight.
Will insurance still approve me even if I haven't lost a substantial amount of weight?
PLEASE HELP!!!

That's awesome!!!! I'm so excited for this!!! I'm hoping to get it done before my husband goes back to work. Sent from my SM-G935V using the BariatricPal App

I had my consultation!! Dr. Lucktong will be doing my surgery. I've already met my 6 month required. All I have left to do is the therapist, dietician, EKG, and the UGI (swallow study). We are going to try to get everything done before March.

I am going to having my surgery this spring. I am looking for a mentor/buddy in Virginia that is going through this process about the same time as me. I feel I would do so much better if I had a buddy to help me through this!!

I will be having my surgery at Roanoke Memorial as well. I have my initial consultation tomorrow
