So i am on my six month physician monitored diet program. Which is technically seven visits consisting of 280 days. I have a bmi of around 39 but with a required comorbidity of hypertension. ... im on visit four. ...my insurance liaison says it shouldnt be a problem being approved. However, things usually never work out in my favor.... I want this sooooo bad.....I just need some encouragement from those who have been there and prayers that it will be approved.....I am sick and tired of being miserable and sick and tired.....I need positive vibes sent in my direction.....okay ...done with my freak out/pity party!

Duh not 280 days 180 days!!! Curses my fat fingers!!! Lol

LOL positive vibes to U…pray all goes well Good luck!!!

Good on you!

Prayers

Prayers, prayers & more Prayers & Great Vibes..

Thanks guys! Keep them coming!

Thoughts are with you!

My BMI is 39 and I have hypertension. I just got approved today. Usually if you have hypertension or some other comorbidity, you only need a BMI of 35. Good luck!

Thanks guys!

Just remember, there are some people who would be happy to be where you are with a six month monitored diet. You have a plan and are moving in the right direction. Don't give up!

Hopefully your dream will come true and your cycle of bad luck will change! Praying for you and patience! I know it's nerve racking!!!

I understand how you feel. I was just approved and scheduled for Feb 16th. Those 6 months can feel like forever! My insurance co required that I did not gain any weight during the 6 months which was a new criteria just prior to my entering the program. They are all different and they all make changes which makes can make us nervous. Just keep praying and trusting in God's timing! Don't let any setbacks discourage you! Will be praying for you!

Prayers and encouragement coming your way!!

You've made a smart decision to take care of your health!

To help with the 6 month program you have to follow, you may want to try incorporating some Protein shakes into your meal plans. I started using powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury shakes (Unjury.com) last May, long before I had a surgery date because I was planning to have my surgery next month. Well, because of a lot of life events, my surgery was moved up to Nov. 10th. Prior to surgery I was having an Unjury protein "meal" for Breakfast and lunch and eating supper with my husband. I did lose some weight during that time. Now that I'm post-surgery, I continue to use Unjury because it helps me get the required protein grams needed for weight loss. It tastes great, and there's a chicken Soup flavor which gives you an option that isn't sweet. You may be wondering if I work for Unjury because I'm recommending it, but I don't. I just like it that much and it has made a big difference in my food choices because I don't crave the carbs like I used to.

Blessings and good luck to you!!

Thanks guys! You guys are really helping me to feel better!
