Luisajfc - I am at the point where I am afraid it is not going to help anything. I mean I have done all the classes and requirements date is set. I have read others post. I just feel like I am going to do this and then be the person who does not lose any weight. Of course this has been my experience with everything else I have tried.

We all have been there, I’m one to think that too, if you don’t take the first step you will always be there in the same spot.. so why not? Maybe this one? If I don’t play the lotto I’m not sure if I’ll win. So play, take your step, many of us are doing just that, don’t give up without trying. Don’t kill your self without living. We will loose, I can’t promise you that but we will loose that F*** weight!

Hi all! So I had Lap Band surgery in 2014 and lost about 100 lbs. Only to start having chest pains that my doctor said were caused by my band. So the Fluid was drained, and back came all of the weight lost (except 10 lbs.). I asked for revision, and was denied by my insurance, but after writing a letter asking for an appeal, they have reversed that decision. Yay! Now back to life. Surgery for revision to gastric bypass is set for 11/07/2017. Excited scared!

Does everyone already have insurance approval? Kind of feeling worried because my doctors office isn't going to send to my insurance in till October 26/27th. That will be when I've completed the required nutrition appointments. My tentative date is November 6th. This will be a revision from lab band(2007) to RNY

:( My doctors office submitted it to insurance first. We didn't set the date until after I won my appeal, and then I went for nutrition classes.
Maybe in your case they know they can prove medical necessity?

Hope that's it. They seem to think I should get approved it's just nerve racking. I have to plan child care for my two girls (1) and (3) and work around my husbands work schedule

That's good your Mom is able to help. My Mom's health is very bad and she can't pick up the baby [emoji64] so somehow have to figure out how to get help for two weeks since I won't be able to lift her. But as long as I get the surgery I know I can make every thing else work out

      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
