Wow, all these replies have been so helpful. Now I see it is ok to do what I feel comfortable with and I'm not alone! I was considering telling people who insisted on knowing that I'm getting my cysts removed (from the pcos). I definitely don't want people talking about it CONSTANTLY to me. I my mom works with a sleeved guy and they talk about it every times they work together, I never thought about how that might be annoying him. Maybe, maybe not. I'm annoyed because I am a vegetarian and I made a huge mistake by telling the two men I work with, and somehow it becomes the center for jokes and discussion everyday... I don't even participate that's the annoying part, but I wanna say SHUT UP WHO CARES IT'S MY LIFE, but of course i don't! Thank you all

That's what I was thinking and he said he "overlooked it" or he would have made it 40.... I was like oh great!! Sent from my SM-G900T using the BariatricPal App

Yeah I hope they use that one! I was at 39.7 BMI at my first appointment... So that's really close to 40!! And TY! Sent from my SM-G900T using the BariatricPal App

I have PCOS and 4 herniated discs in my back, 2 of which already got operated on. My doctor kept assuring me it'll get approved but I'm not sure if he's just saying that to not worry me! Sent from my SM-G900T using the BariatricPal App

Oh jeeze!!! I'm nervous now. I'm glad you're doing well though Sent from my SM-G900T using the BariatricPal App

My insurance requires 3 months of attending bariatric meetings (each one month apart), 3. Nutrition counselings (each one month apart), and one psych eval. Then it takes 3-4 weeks for insurance approval, then about a month booked out for surgery. I think the process is a little long, 4- 6 months. Best of luck though! I hope your insurance allows a quicker process!! Sent from my SM-G900T using the BariatricPal App
