I filled out an application with OWLS and they said they aren't excepting OHP right now and want to refer me to legacy. I said ok, but I'm scared they won't except me. I have tried everything you can imagine to lose weight. I tried pills, drinks and sensa. I lost weight with sensa but when I stoppped it came right back. my BMI is between 52 and 53 so I believe that would approve me. I do have some minor to them health problems too. If OWLS said they didn't take my insurance does that mean I would have been approved if they did? I wish things were less complicated. Will I have to do the 3-6 month weight loss thing or wait for awhile before I can have surgery with my BMI so high? I know nobody know for sure, but just from what you have seen or been through. Anything will help me.

OWLS is Oregon Weight Loss Surgery and OHP is Oregon Health Plan.

      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! 😞
