Why did they deny you before?

Both of my denied letter stated that I didn't have enough evidence of weight loss history. I had 6 months of food logs, dietician notes, etc. We also submitted notes from my PCP for the last 4 years. My surgeons office called them after the 2nd letter and I was approved within 24 hours after that. I had given up and looking at Mexico. Yikes

My surgery was postponed until the 22nd. Today is post op 1 week and I feel great. I did have a hiatal hernia repaired. I am struggling to get the required amount of Fluid in but everyday gets better. I am on stage one until the 4th and can't wait to be able to taste something else. How about you?

Well good for you. Yes, the first couple weeks are trying... Hang in there & trust me when I say FIGHT THE URGES. You'll want to cheat, just sneak something here & there, but it's not worth it.

I also had a hiatal hernia repaired. I had horrible acid reflux with bad night time cough. 4 drs & only my surgeon thought about a possible hernia Causing it all.

Sleeved 11/18. Highest weight 291. Current weight 248! Hang In there & reach out when you're feeling tempted or weak.

@"wyominggirl" my surgery was on 12/22. It was suppo a ed to be 12/19 and my surgeon quit! I got a new Dr within 2 days after finding out about the info 2 WEEKS before my surgery!!
