I have my first doctors appointment Sept 19th to start the process to MAYBE get approved for surgery doing the 4 month diet exercise blah blah blah been there done that. Stressed out because my family supports me 100 percent but they including my amazing husband wants me to try a family attempt with diet and exercise with them and do a success jar for every pound lost you put a dollar in. who ever loses the most weight wins all the money. Yeah sounds like a great idea but what happens when the contest is over... same thing that happened to me in the past I don't keep it off I balloon up again! So with that being said I need advice! Do I do this with them to make them happy and possibly delay surgery because I know ill get big again or wait to talk to my doctor? The issue is idk if I'll even get approved for surgery yet? They aren't even sure if my insurance will cover it we have to do the process first they said submit it then see what they say? I'm so annoyed right now

I have Aetna.

I refuse to accept her word. But my husband is harder to convince else wise

Anther thing im annoyed with is my husband works with tons of workers there's a lady who really does need surgery help and her husband pushes her for it we now have pretty good insurance and I've pushed to learn everything I can about what they cover but hit dead ends. She's feeding her husband full of well the insurance won't cover this so he goes and tells my husband it won't because she said she already checked into it. So now my husband is explaining to me prepare for the worst hope for the best. He supports me but because of them he's losing support

What I'm so scared of is that if I do start to lose weight will it bumped me out of possibly getting approved for the surgery I have been told several times that they're not even sure that I can even get approved for this surgery from people off of here here so what I'm scared of is if I do lose weight it'll possibly bump me out of getting approved for the surgery

#Jim What if I do lose weight and from what I've been told I'm right at the line of possibly not even being large enough to be approved? I'm scared if I do this with them I won't get approved. And the diet for me will be like all other diets temporary

I think you did wonderful I know people who go on vacation and gain 10+ pounds. Don't beat yourself up. I give you two thumbs up considering you have the drive to continue on the weightless journey even with a little gain you still did amazing

Hello everyone I'm new here! My name is Krystal. Im 25 and I've struggled with my weight my whole life! I've been 140 pounds all the way to 305. I'm tired of the battle of obesity and ready to take charge of my life once and for all. If my body doesn't have the energy and I myself don't have the emotional strength to do it I want to force it to lose weight with medical help. I've heard how hard is it to just push yourself away from the table? Or stop eating when your full. Ones that haven't battled something like this before just doesn't understand! For those that don't mind can you please guide me in the direction I need to take? The type of doctor I need to go to, how to get approved by insurance? And anything else you may think will be helpful for me to know.
