Hey Khaw, has your stall gone away? I'm 5 weeks and have lost 14.5 pounds. It seems really slow since I hadn't surgery April 15th. Just wondering if you're seeing the scale move yet. I need encouragement.

I have UHC and every person plan is different. I was told it depends on what you company has approved to pay for premiums. Mine required: Six month waiting period Psychologist visit Two nutrition classes Cardiac testing clearance 5 year proof of being overweight Monthly weight record for six months and diet plan from primary care doctor After six months all information was sent to UHC for review and they then determine if they approve you. I was approved. My max out of pocket is $1500 after meeting $200 deductible for using in network doctors.

Congrats!!

I hate to say it but I'm glad to hear others are in the same boat as I am. I had my surgery April 15th and I've only lost 14.5 pounds. I'm five weeks in and actually gained 2 pounds so that makes my weight loss 12.5 pounds. I decided to not get on the scale today and wait till my weigh in day I've givens self which is Mondays since I had my surgery on a Monday. My starting weight was 251 and my weight yesterday was 238.5 I was at 236.4. Uughhh please tell this gets better!

I use myfitnesspal. I like it a lot. I use it to record food, exercise, vitamins and water intake.

Wow, so glad I found this post. I'm five weeks post op and haven't loss any weight the last two weeks. I actually gained two pounds. My doctor did take me off a diaretic
