My insurance requires BMI 40 or greater (I have no co morbities) The surgeon told me not to lose more than 23 lbs or I won't qualify.

I have checked into Mexico. I just may do it!

Finished last of all my appointments, surgery set for 4/3, plans made, Vitamins and Protein powders bought and I get a call yesterday that insurance denied surgery. I am so so so sad!!! I asked when they gave me surgery date if insurance was all set and she said she did see any problems. I was so mentally prepared and now I am lost. Dr office said they don't want to appeal since they sent all my info.

April 3rd!!!

Thank you guys.

This is my first time posting and I need advice. My 12 yr old daughter is overweight and is so worried that she will be the heaviest one in the house. She is very tall and mature for her age and well proportioned unlike me. I don't want her to feel ashamed. Do I go ahead with surgery or cancel?? I told her we would work together but she says I have the easy part. What do I say? What do I do??

I am in the same boat and so excited!! I am cleared for everything except one more nutritionist appt in 2 weeks (i hope) [emoji4]

Mine was relaxed and very useful. We talked about any things that might hinder weight loss and how I needed to change. I was a nervous wreck the first time I went in!!
