Just finished up my last nutritionist visit all my requirements for my insurance are full filled. I sat there as she submitted everything to the insurance company. Now I just sit back and wait. I am so excited it has been a long road and I am so close.

You will gain weight on insulin! When i was put on insulini went from 274 (which i had been for 9 years before insulin) to 300 after insulin held there for 2 years then was placed on humilin R U -500 which is $1275.00 a bottle (hospital grade) and my weight has sky rocketed up to 333 until they increased it again another extra 35 units daily this past july and now I'm holding at 337. They need to understand i can't help it but my sugars are now awesome nearly perfect shouldn't that be of more concern? At least now I know I will be able to heal from the surgery. Always seems to be a catch 22 -

Now I'm scared! At my first weigh in they explained to me that if I gained even 1 pound the insurance would deny me and i would have to start the 4 month process all over again. I am trying to eat right and drink lots of water like they have told me to do but i i got on the scale 2 days before 2nd weigh in and it said i gained 2 pounds! I had to take water pills for 2 days before my appointment so that when i weighed in it said i lost 4 pounds! It's crazy i have become obsessed i know its all water weight because 2 days later my weight was back up 2 pounds. I have 2 more weigh ins and I'm afraid I won't make it. On top of everything else I'm an insulin diabetic on hospital grade concerated insulin that causes massive weight gain and they won't take thatinto cconsideration.
