Hi everyone. I have been at my journey for over a year a half now. My insurance is Uniform Medical through Regence. My doctors say it is one of the best for coverage. I guess I trust them. My insurance company required 6 months of supervised weight loss management with my PCP. Everyone month I went to my PCP and we reviewed what I had done, what I planned for the next month and then he sent in the info to the insurance. I finally obtained my approval, had my psych eval, met with the dietary person, the exercise person etc. Set to go. My surgery is scheduled for Sept. 9 and I have to say I am excited, and nervous. My family is supportive although I continue to hear about the extra skin and how these types of surgeries make you look old. Yeah, Yeah almost there, but then......Yuck I don't want to look old with flabby skin. Trying to find balance.

Hi John, WOW this could almost be me. My surgery is on September 9th. Our family is going on a camping trip next week, and when I come back I will begin my presurgery diet Aug. 14 - Sept 8. I plan on mine diet looking much the same, except I think I will have a lean cusine diner (less than 250) for dinner. My Protein shakes will be simple, and my Snacks will be a cup of Jello. Good luck to you. Please keep sending updates. My best.
