Hello. I'm new here. I am so grateful I jave found this forum. I have finished all of my requirements. Now I'm playing the waiting game for insurance approval....

Welcome, you will find a lot of good info here. I personally was denied after being pre-approved and going through a 4 month program but ultimately appealed and got approved. Boy, was it stressufl though. Wishing you the best. I just had my surgery 3 days ago..

Hey there what surgery are you looking at?

I am having the gastric sleeve procedure. I have about 100 pounds to lose. I reside in Atlanta...long time dieter. Typical story lose then gain. I have finally decided to do something abiut my weight because I have become recluse. Which is no life since I have a 4 year old. So I need to maje the change because I want something different fir her. Forgive me, I've rambled so that was all over the place!!!!

I started at 135lbs to lose I'm down to 90lbs to go just on my own preop diet...

Surgery very soon RNY bypass

I just wanted to say welcome to the site. I was the same as you, I became very reclusive. Now that I've shed a lot of weight I love to go out everyday. Even just to go to the store and get dinner for my husband. Mostly for him, because I can't eat much and we way different foods. Good luck on your upcoming surgery!?

We all have very similar stories of yo-yo dieting and finally deciding to take the next step. This site has been such an incredible source of information and support. Welcome!
