So I had my 3 month follow up on July 5th.I am 65# down from my starting weight of 440!! :-) he wants me to be 30 more # down by my next appointment in October.

I was just thinking if I get a scale and see the weight going down, that would be ny motivation. I get what you are saying though. When it doesn't move, I'll be disappointed and throw it out the window !!! Lol

I know I can do it but right now I feel like I'm failing. Mostly because I don't have a scale and don't track what I eat daily. I have had a lot going on and have not planned well. Hopefully I will get back on track and lose more weight by my birthday. The more I get on VST, the better I feel and the more I lose. I guess I need to make more time for my great support system!!!

Hello everyone. I haven't posted because I've been busy. I can't update my weight because I haven't weighed myself since may 7th! I need to purchase a big girl scale. I feel good but I find myself very dizzy Luke dehydrated in the morning since starting my new job. It is more physically demanding (Floor nurse, 12 hour shift) vs my old job sitting at a desk all day.

Sorry I'm replying so late but I just started a new job. I did get pre auth for surgery & I had surgery with this doctor and hospital because it was the only One my insurance would cover. I haven't heard anything and again it is because I haven't had time since my new job. Thanks for all of your help!!!!!

Thanks for the tip!!!

I recieved a bill in the mail and an EOB from my insurance stating I owe $53,000 for my VSG!!!!!! I called the hospital where I had the surgery , also where I worked until May 8th, and they said that called the insurance and they stated they paid their maximum amount. They also said that some of what I had done was denied. My surgeon's office assured me that they will look into this and resolve then call me back. This is so nerve racking because I wouldn't have had VSG at the time I did because I don't want to have to pay this much for it. If anybody has anybody has any pointers to how to fight this, I will welcome your advice. Between this and student loans, I could have purchased a house!!!!!! I love my sleeve but Gee Whiz!!!
