Did you weigh-in at the seminar?



Recommended Posts

I didn't. My "official" weigh in was at my 1st appointment. That is the weight they will use when submitting me to the insurance company for approval. I get weighed now each time I go visit the nutritionist at the surgeon's office.

They did not weigh us at the seminar I went to recently. They did giveus a BMI calculator so that we could determine the BMI. You will learn a lot, definitely go!

Sounds like you are going to the group support meetings. The seminar is the first step. I went to group meetings for 6 months before surgery. I found them very informative. The only weighing you will have will be at the doctors office visits. Enjoy the group meetings. It is good to learn all you can prior to surgery.

I completely skipped the seminar... went straight to the individual consultation where, of course, I was weighed. But I would think since the seminars are informational that no personal information like that would be collected.

I was late for the monthly seminar, but I don't think anyone was weighed. We were just advised to go the website, email the intake person and get a password to login to the database where we'd submit our medical history, etc.

Basically the doc gave us info showing us that even if we were self-pay, we'd still be saving money if we were thin and not on a dozen obesity-related medications vs. fat and sick.

This is a question that just depends on your Doctor's office. At my informational seminar we were weighed in and they took our photos and started our file. That was supposed to be our "official" weigh in. But we were allowed to come back and reweigh.

If this is a concern for you just call and ask.

I went to a mini seminar today and a one on one consult... I knew I was just shy of the 40 BMI so I added 4lb to myself and slouched a little which shaved an inch of my height.... I am PROUD to say I am 41.6 BMI (never dreamed I would say that!) and my insurance covers my surgery!

whOOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOOOO

I was so happy I cried while driving home! Best Spent "Lie" of a lifetime!

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
