I will be July 27. I am TOO excited!! Good luck!

A few family (parents and siblings, one grandparent) know. I haven't told any friends. I had to call off a trip because it's in the time period I expect to be having surgery and told my friends I was getting wisdom teeth removed! I'll probably tell a couple of them eventually. I am by far the largest of my friends and I don't see them understanding.

I have uhc and I had to do it. Next week is my 5th appointment. It flies by!!! And it's given me a lot of time to think an research so I'm happy I had to. But I wasn't at first

M on month 3 and it's going by quick!! I'm glad I have no set amount of weight to lose and that they aren't strict...mostly. But the first month I was trying my hardest to lose weight and lost as much as 13ish pounds. Then when I went in and they said we focus on changing habits and not weight loss, I definitely took it the wrong way. My eating has been awful. I'm suppose to keep a food journal but I'm too embarrassed. I'm trying to get back on track but it's discouraging to think I can't do this. Any advice, for those who had to wait awhile before surgery?

I'm with UHC and I had to do it. I haven't been given a specific amount-we just talk about changing habits. I'm on month 3 and it goes by quickly!

I am also doing a 6month supervised diet (through True Results of Austin) and thus far, neither the program nor the insurance have said anything about a specific amount of weight, or percentage. Have they for you? I would think if it's a requirement that they wild have already discussed it. If your doctor is thinking its fine, I think it will be. Good luck!

I was sent a home sleep study machine. I used it last night and will need it tonight. I'm scared that I'll need to redo them. I maybe got a combined 1.5 hours of sleep because I generally can only sleep on my stomach but the nasal prongs would fall out. My mom told me not tontake sleeping meds because it'd skew the results but that may be the only way to avoid needing to redo it! Does anyone have any suggestions?

I feel like the insurance bariatric resources lady I talked to tried to do the same thing. I am sticking with the band. The idea of quicker weight loss sounds nice but the idea of permanently altering my body at 22, and all of the severe side effects outweigh any positives bypass may have.

Second night went a little better. I'm still nervous they won't have enough information, but all I can do it wait and see.

Hello! My name is Kristyn. I'm 22 years old and I had my first consultation at True Results today. I'm excited! I'm at my highest weight (326 :/) so I have a lot to work for but I'm done with being like this. I've been lurking here for a few weeks and I really like it here.

I've only told my sisters and my parents know since my dad is funding it. I'm sure eventuallynword will get out to friends. I may tell 1 or 2 friends so they won't constantly question me. I want to keep it on the down low mostly because I don't want unnecessary pressure and questions.
