I just printed out my weigh ins from weight watchers online. I went to meetings and used the online site for 3 years.

they did allow me to use my weight watchers history for myself

that is so frustrating! this is going to cost them so much less in the longrun!

Getting sleeved 2/18. I will be 40 on the 6th 5"1 190 lbs

My mother in law and I are having the surgery on the same day too but on February 18th. Good luck to you and your sister:)

Thank you and same to you . Me an my mother in law are going in together.

I'm February 18th. So excited:).

My husband is in the process also. I will be sleeved February 18th but he still has 4 months of the 6 month diet. I wanted us to do the journey together so we would understand what we were both going through.

Well said! I have told my co-workers also because I am very excited. Most were excited for me but others are always trying to talk me out of it or get me to try their "latest diet". I keep telling them all those diets are temporary fixes. I do not understand why they can't just be happy for me.

Just super duper excited to tell .... I will be sleeved on February 18th!! I cannot wait My mother in law and I are both having it done on the same day! sooo, thats all, just super excited!!

I am just starting the process with bmi of 35. Insurance requires 6 months. I am worried I will be denied because of my lower bmi. Even though I have been heavy my whole adult life and I have family history of high blood pressure and diabetes I do not have them YET. anyone have any suggestions to ensure that I won't get denied?

I haven't done a sleep study done yet but my hubby says I snore lol. I don't have arthritis but a loooong history of yo yo dieting. Tried weight watchers a dozen times only to gain it back. And many members of my family have developed diabetes and high blood pressure with early death. I meet with the surgeon on Monday and I'm just going to ask up front if it can be approved or if I'm wasting my time...

I am above the bridge and have to do the 6 months because of my insurance. It's still not a guarantee even after the 6 month supervised diet:( I carry bcbs Michigan. My bmi is 35 and my husbands is 43. We are hoping to be sleeved early spring:)

I too have a bmi of around 34. Self pay is not a real option for me at this time so I am still hoping and praying my insurance company will see that this surgery will save them money in the long run. I do not have the high blood pressure or diabetes YET but everyone in my family does and I am built exactly like them. I am 5'1 and 184 pounds. Has anyone had luck or could give me advice for helping to get my insurance to pay? Thank you in advance:)

5'1 here. Not sleeved yet but hopefully soon. My pants size are 18 and never fit right:(. Hoping my BMI is high enough for them to approve me for the sleeve. I am 185 lbs but because I'm so short I look a lot heavier and feel it.
