Current Weight July 18, 2016



Recommended Posts

My current/highest weight is 335 and I am 6"0

My BMI is 45ish

I don't know if I will have to lose any weight within my 6 month pre op. I'll have to be 300+ to stay qualified and above 40 BMI but I won't mind dropping 20-30 pounds if they need me to.

Insurance usually goes by your starting weight to qualify you. Then you may be asked to lose a certain amount to prove that you can make the necessary changes for success with the surgery. I will tell you that every insurance policy is different, so please verify what is expected in order to qualify. I was told to only lose 5% of my weight and they went with my starting weight to qualify me.Biggest thing is not to gain. This is very important. Good luck to you!

Who do you have? I have blue cross. I have been approved for surgery and my date is 8-9. I'm 6'1 and 325. I didn't have to lose either, just did the 6 mo classes and now my pre op is next Thursday

@@jaimelu I have Blue Cross. I got referred early and they approved me after three months because I had done all the classes and was already diagnosed with sleep apnea. I think Blue Cross is pretty supportive of WLS. They know it lowers future claims for diabetes and other obesity related issues. Glad you got approved! Is your pre-op diet bad? Mine was 2 weeks of nothing but liquids...it was rough but I would do it again!

Thank you Connie! I will do whatever they tell me. I'm so excited for this change! 6 months+ can't pass soon enough!

Jaime I have a type of Medicare UPMC for you. So 6 months of classes is mandatory too! So we have almost the same type of height and weight. After I meet with the surgeon I'll update if I have to loose any weight pre op but even if it's not mandatory I still might with the pre op diet. And good luck to you!

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
