  6. Even though my BMI was on the lower side, insurance paid due to high blood pressure and pre-diabetic. Took a little over a month from 1st office visit, pre-op tests, ins approval to surgery. My insurance did not require several months of weigh in's, only letter from PCP and psych eval. Out of pocket was $1800. Anthem BCBS P.S. I did slide into a cancellation spot, or it probably would have been longer for surgery date. P.S.S. I also did not wait for my surgeon's office to schedule my pre-op tests. I was very pro-active and reached out to hospital to schedule tests. Be your own advocate!

  8. The estimates are based on averages. Some lose more, some lose less. I honestly believe, if you embrace your drs plan, and change your relationship with food, you will be successful. Good Luck!

  18. Only regret is I wish I had done it sooner! I am enjoying my life again and spending more time with family and friends. It has been an adjustment, and I have had some challenging days, but I know, that my physical and mental health are so much better now! Good Luck!
  19. Congratulations! Hoping for a speedy recovery to a healthier you!
  20. Not quite 4months for me yet (April 19th) but I am 7lbs from having a normal weight BMI! [total of 60lbs lost since I started this process] It has been years! I still eat mostly soft foods, fruit, salad. Cannot do chicken or scrambled eggs. But can do over easy eggs and tiny pieces of steak. Overall, energy level is good and heartburn is completely gone...thank goodness. Did not enjoy that at all! Been doing a lot of clothes "shopping" in my closet and a few totes of smaller sizes that I had stored away years ago. It has been fun! Best decision ever! ?
  21. I struggled with getting enough calories in the first several weeks. Still have days, that I barely get in 500-600 just because I am not hungry. Try a couple of protein shakes a day...@150-180 calories each, that will give you at least 300+, plus, it will count toward your fluid total. Good Luck!
