Did the insurance approve you getting surgery at 191? I have not heard or seen that before.

Hi Kiwiladydee,

I was denied at first, but I had done all of what was required to have the surgery and I also had Diabetes Type 2. I was devistated so I appealed it and was approved within 30 days. So yes my insurance paid for it.

Wow that's great! Some people may feel negative about it, but the sooner you start tons healthier lifestyle the better off you will be. I wish I would have done it 10 years ago when I was 211, but I wanted 10 years and was 280. But technology and the procedure was much better so maybe it happens for a reason. It's going to be harder for you because your not so far from a heathy weight. Don't be disappointed, just work differently. Are you working with a nutritionist?

I saw the nutritionist for 6 consecutive months, and we have nutrition classes as well as support classes here ...so I will go to the support when I am able too. The next one coming up if a few days after I have neck surgery in about 3 weeks so that will have to wait.

I wish I would have had it 100 pounds ago. So yea the sooner the person can have it done the better. ))
