    Good for you for making them let you re weigh! Seriously, kudos! I would have been devastated too, if they made a mistake that messed up my surgery timeline. Give yourself a great big pat on the ba

Good for you for sticking up for yourself and I'm so glad it worked!!!

thank you ????????

You are my HERO! That was an awesome idea. So glad it worked out. YAY!

awww thank you so much, you made my day ????????

I hope it doesn't take your insurance 2-4 weeks to approve your surgery. I was so fortunate that I had approval 24 hours after it was submitted!!

I applaud your resolve and willingness to fight to be reweighed!!!

You will do great????????????????

thank u so much and wow that was super duper fast, did u have surgery yet

Wow! Amazing! I mean seriously what's 2 lbs? I was told at the beginning of this process not to gain any weight. I have to be 242 or less and I have gained to a whopping 257. So looks like I will have a stuggle there at the end. I am praying that I can get it together before hand. Did you do anything in particular to lose weight in the end? What was the reason you had to be 270?

Byebyefat- I just started my 2 week liquid liver shrinking diet today. My surgery is on August 25th!! Who would have thought a sugar free Popsicle could taste so good!! Lol
