Thank you all for your post. I was concerned about this too. I have my final appointment on 8/19 for my 3 month supervised weight loss attempt then it goes to the insurance company. My BMI is well over 40, and I am on blood pressure meds, but I am concerned over if they are expecting me to lose a lot of weight during this time. My doctor, nutrionist and I have worked hard over the last few years but while I lose inches I don't lose wieght...should I be concerned?

No Honey you are not alone. I don't want to be skinny, and based on my body type I doubt I will ever be skinny. But I can't wait to see size 12/14 again! I am in the same boat as you. Had the dietician visit, psyche eval, and support group meeting. I'm doing my 3 months visit with my doc and i have my second appointment tomorrow. I'm hoping to be banded by August but the surgeon hasn't given me a date yet. Best of luck, we'll get through it!
