Don't be in any rush to weigh, you might still have surgical Water weight in there. Just keep getting your fluids in and walking for exercise. Maybe towards the end of the month weigh yourself. Too early in your journey to have the Coulda Woulda Shoulda's land, just keep on healing up.

In addition to recently have a sleeve myself, I also work for an insurance company. Are you sure it is completely excluded, or are there steps you need to go through? Ms y companies will pay if you try other things first. Can your Doctor argue that it is medical necessity? The results are proven, no longer debatable. Most insurance will cover over a certain BMI with other conditions. Make sure you are not just talking to the first line call center, but a case manager or someone in utilization management. It is cost effective for employers to cover these things in their policies now as it is more expensive to treat your other conditions long term. Sorry for probably too much info, just want to make sure you don’t have to pay if you don’t have to. That said, it is well worth it if you are ready to do the work. I have lost 65 pounds in the last four months, blood pressure is great and cholesterol has come down 40 points already. After 20 years of struggling with food, I finally have a tool to help me get control which has been beneficial physically, emotionally and spiritually. Just my two cents! Best wishes!
