Hello all!:phanvan Still trying to figure this all out- My BMI is not quite a 40- a good weekend out and I am sure i could take care of that. My insurance calls for a 5% weight lose before approval of surgery so that I can demonstrate my seriousness to take of this weight. Once I lose that 5%, my BMI will drop and I may be deemed ineligible. I am hoping that they will look at my BMI upon entering the program. Also, it would mean be having to gain a good 20 lbs. to a solid candidate wit hthe 5% loss and I just don't think that is a heathy thing to do.. Any thoughts?

Hi Another me! Thank you so much for writing to me! Your e-mail was sooooooooo helpful. Especially when you said you would do it all over again! Do the fills hurt? You still need to diet right? How long were tou in the hospital? Was the absominal pain really bad after surgery? How long before you are on your feel again? I am going to start pursuing insurance options tomorrow. I would kill to weigh 170! Congratulations on your success! Thank you, Leslie:)
