Yes I started the diet this oct. and surgery date idk? I was thinking early summer? I don't mind the requirements@ all I just wish like u said...they would realize the yo yo part and that I don't keep it off..if I loose 10 I gain back 15 ! Lol

and the fact that you DON"T have any co morbidties, might mean if they allow you to have the surgery you can AVOID having any in the future. Makes no sense to me that we have to get so sick

to get help. It is like a dag gone ferris wheel (and not the fun kind) lose weight, you don't weight enough, gain it back and then try again and be put on another six month diet and you lose and don't weight enough. Why is common sense so lacking in these requirements. Sorry for the vent. I just

really feel for you and wish there was an answer and hope there is and you can have this surgery and avoid the illnesses that comes with obesity.

Hugs to you

I completely, utterly and totally relate to your situation. I am going through the same thing. My BMI is currently about 38.6 (couldn't put my exact height in the ticker, so that's a little off). I do have what my general doctor considers comorbidities (hypertension and hyperlipidemia); however, I'm not sure my insurance company will accept those. They're mostly looking for diabetes and sleep apnea. The girl I spoke with on the phone was very "iffy" when I asked for the complete list. My surgeon's coordinator was so kind, though, and said she'd do everything she could to get me approved. So, I'm going to go ahead and attend the informational meeting and sign up for one of their clinics, and go from there.

I'm crossing my fingers for you that everything works out. :)

I hope everything works out. The sooner you get the surgery the better chance you have at improving your health.

My BMI is 34.9 - not enough for insurance to pay. So I am self-pay. I look at it as an investment in my future health.

It hurts to drain my savings account but I view it as necessary. I watched my father sabotage my mother's weight loss by deliberately bringing home high-fat sugary foods. And today she is basically bedridden and diabetic. All I can say is that each of us must be advocates for own own health.

We are investing in a better future.

      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...

      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?
