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.

Then it sounds like he will probably help you with this journey too. It is amazing to have a shoulder to lean on. and you have a whole network of men and women on here.

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.
