Maybe you should call your insurance and ask

I heard of people adding weights in their pockets to make sure they stay at the weight, at least at weigth in. Usually the coordinators know the requirements. I have cigna too, but my plan might still be different from yours.

Hello, My surgery date is 21st. Start liquid diet on 7th. Doctor wanted me on Cpap before i start, started that 2 days ago.

I don't understand 5:2 and 16:8...? Can you explain?

that will be so hard for me! I eat so fast because i used to not get lunch at work. We all poked fun (good heart'ed) at my husband because he ate so slow chewing thoroughly. I told him his revenge is coming....LOL

Forgot, they did do blood test on first consult

I'm going thru process too. If you have reflux, you will need scoped. If they think you have sleep apnea, you need a sleep study. Otherwise psych consults and nut visit. The program usually knows what you need. I'm also low bmi, i qualify because of my HTN. I get my sleep study results Thursday. My program, which is accredited , won't do lap band. I chose sleeve and surgeon agreed. He will also discuss what he thinks is best for you. I also have doubts, but than i remember why i went to the seminar. My hospital had their coordinator leave, so i got left on my own a bit too.

I have not had my surgery, but i lost all my weight before, being 70 lbs at that time (jojo person here). When i got close to goal, i had people trying to feed me and telling me i was to skinny. I'm looking forward to be able to say that i need to follow my doctors orders to stop people from doing that again. And my mantra will be "nothing taste as good as healthy feels" You got this! You have support here, be strong and look out for yourself. It is a skill you will need as you reach goal and encounter people who don't know you had surgery. Now i just hope i get approved [emoji17] Sent from my SM-T810 using BariatricPal mobile app

I'm 36 bmi and hoping to have surgery by mid august. My psych eval is in 2 weeks. I usually refer to myself as a professional dieter since i have lost and gained back ( and setting hw each time) so many times. I was happy to see that people around my bmi where getting surgery. I know 2 people with sleeves that are doing great, i can't wait to finally loose weight for good. Sent from my SM-T810 using BariatricPal mobile app
