Newcomer!

I'm a newcomer to the group. I just had my 1st month appointment with my surgeon and I'm super excited! My insurance requires me to have 5 monthly visits before they submit info to them. I was asked not to gain weight during these next months. Just curious as to what will happen if I do gain weight...not talking 20 lbs or anything just a few lbs or so.

Hi Adeisha, Welcome to the club of sleevers! I too have to go through 6 months of visits and not gain any weight. I'm not quite sure what would happen truthfully. I do know there are some insurances say that they will not allow the procedure if you gain but I'm not sure if they're talking 20 pounds or 4 like your saying. This is a good question! I am actually going to my next visit on the 7th. I will ask. Where are you from by the way?!?
