I don't think they really look at the weight loss. I think they just want to make sure you're staying consistent. My advice: Make sure when you go to submit your paperwork, you have EVERYTHING. Food journal, weigh in's supervised a doctor, all the necessary tests they required, a letter of necessity. They're pretty good with approving IF you have all your ducks lined up. But, if in the case you get denied... keep calling, find out what you're missing. I was denied at first, and was HEARTBROKEN. I called and asked what all they needed. I got all that stuff.... And, was quickly approved. No appeal needed GOOD LUCK

Not really, everyone chooses their option for their own reason. I never even looked into the RNY because I didn't like malabsorption concerns. I didn't want the re-routing. And, I was worried about re-gain. A lot of people think the sleeve is a new new procedure, when in reality it's new as being a standalone procedure. It was done in the past as a stepping ground for patients who were too big to have the DS (I think, my brain is off on lala land this morning!) They would do the sleeve, once the patient lost enough weight, they'd go back in and do the other part. But, the found it had enough success as a standalone procedure. I wish you luck on figuring out which you want

Congratulations! Good luck.

Happy Easter to YOU! Congrats! <3

wow, you look great. i'm glad they found out about your condition before it got too bad!

Just look at the label and see if it is okay to YOU. Everyone has a different set of rules they follow. Just be careful with the sugar alcohols like mentioned!

whoooohoooo! Congratulations

Maybe try a thicker soup! It may help you feel like you're eating something with more substance. Hang in there! Every day will get better.

It's because you lose weight so quickly... My doctor gave me some medicine for it. But, honestly I haven't taken it like I should of o.O

You look great. I love your hair and jacket <3

MRSKOUBiK.........252....................222..............217.................5 Hopefully, I can do it

You might not of made it EXACTLY! But look how CLOSE you are to meeting it. Congratulations! Happy Birthday.

That's so great that he supports you Congratulations on yoru date.

Congratulations

Those with more to lose, lose faster sometimes with bigger numbers. Since you only had minimum to lose, it will take longer. A loss is still a loss though. So ROCK YOUR SLEEVE <3

THat's incredible. Congratulations!

Sometimes others should keep their opinions to themselves!

It's perfectly normal. At this point you've probably spent more time being heavy that you have thinner. Of course it's going to take time to get used to it! Just be patient! Congratulations on your success!!

that's just amazing. Congratulations.

Awesome! Look forward to seeing the picture!

It was so fun. I'm so glad I saved them. I accidently threw them in my bin to give away... and, recently I went through them and sorted them. So luckily I found them. I'd rather keep a pair of pants I actually wore instead of going to a store and finding a pair of 26's. If that makes sense?

That's amazing. Congrats

I use the one my surgeon has... It's very close and easy. It's a good experience, and I enjoy meeting others who had WLS. My surgeon's office also said that studies show those who regularly attend support groups lose more, and maintain it! I'll probably attend as many as I can for quite some time!

Whooohoo! Congratulations

rock it!
