My current/highest weight is 335 and I am 6"0 My BMI is 45ish I don't know if I will have to lose any weight within my 6 month pre op. I'll have to be 300+ to stay qualified and above 40 BMI but I won't mind dropping 20-30 pounds if they need me to. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

So I went to the informative session yesterday and it was great. They didn't tell me anything I didn't already know but now I'm just one step closer to getting the surgery. They will be making an appointment for the dietician for me soon. I'm faxing in my paper so that I can get an appointment with the physiatrist and either today or tomorrow I will be making an appointment with my doctor. Now it says she may put me on a 6 month weight loss program because my insurance requires it to make sure I can lose weight so they know I'll be okay and able to do it after surgery or I might have to just take 6 months of nutritional classes which would still be okay. I'm estimating around February/March of next year for my surgery. Anything sooner I won't count on just so I don't get my hopes up but if it happens I'll be super happy and even more excited!

I'm going to the mandatory informational session this Wednesday. I'll be filling out a form to see if I qualify but a surgeon already confirmed that I do. My insurance is saying that I still have to attend which I don't mind. I'll be updating through my 6 month pre op requirements, surgery day and hospital stays and post op. I will be documenting my process through the whole thing. Including my mood and how I'm doing with the diets, gym workouts, healthy foods that work for me, weight loss pictures and updates monthly after the surgery. Hope you guys follow me through this life changing journey and I will follow you guys too, for support. x Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
