We are proud of you too. Your insurance company isn't going to give you a hard time and say you can lose weight on your own since you're doing just that, are they? That would be horrible.

My doc's office said if they give me shit they'll fight for me. They don't think I will have problems though. I did start at 419 and I have several comorbs. The whole point of the 6 month diet is to prove that I can make a life changing commitment. I am doing JUST THAT.

Also the office said even if I lost 100 before surgery...which I won't...that I would still need it. So I am hoping (praying too) they will approve me in October. The lady I talked to said I shouldn't have any problems...but that's just one insurance lady.

Lol now I am gonna start to worry again.

Me too, only thing is i finish my 6 month diet in october surgery should be in November. If I have to fight the insurance I might not be able to get it done before the end of December when I wont have insurance anymore.

I am praying everything goes okay.

I have to agree about the snake "shudder" I hate snakes!!!! But why not an aquatic frog that stays in the Water with the fish? we have a 29 gallon aquarium that has neon tetras, hatchet fish, black skirt tetras, 2 snails and 2 frogs. It is fun to watch the frogs and try to find them. they love to just hang around the floral bushes we have in there, oh did I say hang around, well I mean hang off!!!:biggrin:

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!
