6 Months Of Supervised Dieting



Recommended Posts

again-- double check with the NEW insurance company in regards to their requirements - if you know which company your employer has planned on selecting. They MAY be able to give you a head up on if the new insurance will have a policy which includes WLS.

good luck

Okay, update...

Talked to coordinator and have my first appt with nutritionist Aug 22.

Called insurance company and found that they do NOT specify any sort of time frame, but just say that I have to have actively participated in non-surgical methods of weight loss and that the doctor must evaluate.

Spoke w/ coordinator and told her about insurance not requiring 6 mo diet, and I also told her about my insurance changing to a higher deductible plan in January, so...

She said I can just do 3-month diet and get sleeved in December!!

First thought:

I won't have that looming feeling of failure over a New Year's resolution.

Second thought:

Surgery -- is this too extreme? Do I really want to do this??

I have a few months to think... =)

      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! 😞
