Oh man that sucks. If anything pre write a letter with your health issues and emotions due to your weight and ask your ob to write a letter for insurance company recommending the surgery is necessary

Sorry to hear that. Ask your ob/gyn or your primary doctor for weights within the last 2years. If you are getting your shots every 3 months they may have something on file.

Headmistress' date=' I feel you! Same issue here! They didnt deny me yet but said I have 45 days to submit 2 yr weight history and will not except my prenatal weight which was 1 of the 2 yrs... Never saw my PCP during that time so I'm hoping the few minute clinics I went to during that time had some weight history for my surgeon to submit. Don't give up hope....[/quote']

Ok so I called around to hospital emergency rooms where I know I was seen at in 2010 2011 and one alreasy sent her my weight for 2010!!!! There were really fast but I explained to them what was going on and that I didn't have 7-10 days to wait for a letter so they said tell the surgeons office to fax a letter head over requesting the info and they will send it upon the hour and {{{{BOOM}}}} they did!!!! So now im just waiting on 2011 and I will be home free!!! So freaking excited now and I feel so much better thanking god thanking god thanking god.... hopefully I get a December surgery!!!!

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
