I am extremely excited and I want to have the surgery sooner but I still need to get my passport. I also will need time off work and I feel that later will be better due to more staff coming on with college as next month most will be graduating.

My insurance requires a six month waiting period.
Also working with a dietician and office visits and weigh ins.
So, I have to wait till August.
I wish I could get it sooner.

Hoping to have my surgery in Aug. I finish up my 6 months of Medically Supervised Weight-loss Visits the end of June. Very nervous too.

I hope I don't die before the six months waiting period is up.
If I do die, will someone please champion a movement to get a law passed that states insurance companies can no longer require a six month waiting period?
I would really appreciate it.

I don't know the whole story, but there was a woman that had to lose 100lbs before the surgeon would do the surgery (I don't think she weighed even 400lbs). Was working on it, and suddenly died. Haven't heard cause of death, so don't know if it was related to the diet.

Best thing to do is slow and easy. Exercise, dietary changes, etc. Don't kill yourself by being all gung-ho! (Literally!)

I will be having my surgery in August also. I'm getting my lap band taken out in a few weeks. My insurance would only approve a 2 part procedure. Then I have to wait 3 months for the gastric sleeve.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
