I would like to know if they cancel you if your BMI drops. I want this so bad. I dont want it cancelled right before i go into the OR.

My doctor only wrote down by first weight. I am right on the borderline with a 40 BMI. The last time I got weighed I left my boots on just to be careful.

when I first told them about my surgery, they told me I didn't need to lose weight because I'm pretty the way I am. Now they ask if I can eat certain foods and how many calories are in everything. they'll eat a candy bar and say "mama you can't have this it's too many calories. " They're 6 and 8.

My husband tried to help me with my last diet. He would read labels and ask questions. It was nice.

If you are on the 6 month class schedule they want your BMI to drop as much as possible. Most insurance companies only want your starting BMI and proof you can lose weight and follow your doctors and NUTs plans.

I'm getting nastier and short tempered as I age. Might have been by excessive being beset upon. Might have been tempted to say "Takes ONE,to know One and besides You're Hanging with ME!" Ditch people who don't want to March in Your Parade! Any people that pfft! I had one who said similar, now that I have started losing weight she is taking full credit to our other friends. One of them laughingly told me She is going around say "Yes, I told Frustr8 this was SUCH a good idea to do this!" I wish I had the tape to play back!😃😛😃LOL for me--- Pfft for her!

Nope, you will be fine. They actually like that because it shows that you’re serious about your weight loss. Good luck, i’m so excited for you to join us on the loser’s bench!

Talk to your medical team. I have my 3 month medically supervised diet, and my NP told me to keep in mind if I drop below 35 BMI insurance will deny me.. I’m sure after that when you have your date and are prepping for surgery this does not apply.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
