    jbland: who's your insurance company?
  4. 10% sounds very reasonable. For me, that's 1 lb per 4 days. So long as they don't drop coverage for the surgery because of the weight loss, I'll be good. thanks for the input!
  5. Hey guys, I'm undergoing the horrid process of insurance hoops at the moment, and wondering how long after the surgery were you able to really exercise again? I am an avid weightlifter and normally do an hour on the elliptical (at level 15) on non-weight days. So that's a bit over average for "light exercise". Would I be back to normal in 2 weeks or so? thanks!
  6. LOL ankle weights? That's pure win. So I can lose all I want, just wear a little something extra to my appointments. Thanks!
  7. bearwitme: what class are you referring to? The only outstanding items I have are: - behavior modification program supervised by a professional - exercise regimen supervised by a professional Edit: The two above items are part of the Dietitian's program that she puts you on.

    Insurance costs more than cash?

    Nick Nicholson I assume? From people that have used him before, and had Aetna - what was your total out of pocket cost?
  9. Info from Dr. Nick's office told me: Choice: - 6 month diet plan with your doctor or - 4 month diet plan with a nutritionist Mandatory: sleep test Mandatory: EKG Mandatory: psychologist visit and something else that I forgot. If your doctor's closer than the nutritionist, may be a better deal, despite the extra wait. if you make other appts while doing the diet, earliest is 4 months.
  10. Thanks for the reply, that really helps!
