if I lose weight during the six-month period and fall below my BMI will my surgery be approved

do you have a co-morbid symptoms since your BMI. is under 40?

what do you guys think about the process from start to finish ...from first request to finally getting to have the surgery?? i've had people tell me they had everything approved within two weeks ,to some people telling me it takes 3 to 6 months to MAYBE be approved. I have just requested for the surgery from my PCP and she set me up with the nutritionist and said I would have to meet with the psychiatrist as well and it may be 3 to 6 months to actually be approved

i'm thinking if I should get the sleeve or not I was told I would lose 100 pounds minimum being 110 is a little bit too skinny for me I was also told I would gain some weight back through out the first year ..is this sleeve the best option for me? I'm looking to lose 70 to 80 pounds

being 185.. I imagine it wouldn't be super high numbers in 3-4 months .. put 50 lbs is great !!!

how Long ago did you have your surgery? and did you follow the post-op protocol to get to 123

do you have to have the surgery at a excellent center if it's through your employer?
