I was hoping to have mine then, but I had to start my four month insurance filing over since I missed an appointment with my primary care physician. I'm shooting for January or February now. I'm terrified, but I know it will be worthwhile.

Did they require 6 month documentation?

Not my particular policy. I have it through my dads employer and it is PPO. Their general policy states they no longer require a supervised diet, just a psych eval and nutrition consult. As a matter of fact I was told by the insurance provider from my drs office I needed a five year weight history and 12 months office notes and I wasn't sure for what but I just gave her all my medical records for the past three years as that was all I had and a letter of medical necessity which miraculously my Dr. wrote for me and vwalla not one issue. Approved in less than 48 business hrs. However, reading over these forums APPARENTLY some policies with BCBSIL are still slipping in the 6 month diet. So I guess it depends on your policy.

      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.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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
