IVe been asking this question a lot too since my BMI is right at 40. All the answers I’ve received - even from the Bariatric program coordinator at my surgeons office - tell me no, the BMI they look at is your starting BMI. That being said, I’ve had a couple people recommend that you don’t lose any more weight than the insurance company’s required percentage. Good luck!

What firming lotion have you been using?

Hi all! Im hoping to get some input on this. I’m still in the process of getting information before making a decision to go through with WLS. One thing that greatly concerns me is getting dehydrated. I’m a surgical nurse and we aren’t exactly allowed to carry water bottles around with us in the operating room. I already struggle to get water in now while I can gulp it down. Surely this isn’t the only job where this is an issue, so I wondered if anyone had input regarding my concern. How do you manage? DO you manage or have you had issues where you’ve gotten sick? Thanks in advance!

It may be up to 4 or 5 hours between getting out. I’m wondering if since I work with people that know specifically how and why Id need to drink often that they could accommodate it.

I’m concerned getting insurance approval because I’ve never attempted a diet program under a doctor or nutritionist. I have done multiple diets over the years but I have no proof! I had WW membership 8 years ago but no documents and only a handwritten journal from 2 years ago. How much proof of previous diet attempts do companies need? Is this going to be a denial point for me or am I worrying for nothing ?

Thanks, I’m just getting started with the whole process! I’ve signed up for a seminar the surgeon does monthly and made an appointment with my PCP.
