Anyone here has surgery may 30th? Post your stats. mines is HW: 274 SW: 252 CW: 228 GW: 160 May 30th. 2017

I started this process on Jan 18th of this year. 3 month weight management for the insurance requirements is ALLLLLL DONE!!! I am scheduled for surgery on May 30th. Im scared yet excited at the same time!!! do I have any surgery twins out there???

I'm glad to say I'm completely finished with everything that was on my checklist required from the insurance and the surgeon! I just have 1 last weigh in to do on April 28th and everything will get submitted to the insurance after that. The good thing is, my insurance approval turnaround time is 72hrs!! I am overly excited. My doctor only wanted me to lose 5lbs before surgery and I lost 7 so far. (3 month program) but I am willing to lose as much more as I can to be healthy! anyone have any tips for me?

That is amazing!!!! I plan to have my surgery done in the early part of May. im basically done with the required things to do, I have 1 more weigh in but I do still want to lose as much as I can before surgery. my surgeon only wanted me to lose 5 lbs. but I lost 7 so far. I was just wondering how to kick start and lose more. and I see people doing low carb high protein and I kind of wanted ideas on the meal plans because I see that it does work for you all!

What are considered low carb if you don't mind me asking? im trying to do a high protein, low card too but im not sure as in what options I have for low card. @blizair09

hopefully mines will be in may. I will be finished with my last weigh in at the end of april. my doc wants me to lose 5 pounds by the last weigh in or he wont approve me..

I Also thought this was a lot of appointments. I started the process on Jan 18th! Met with the surgeon and patient advocate. Patient advocate gave me a check list of things that has to be done by April 18th. My insurance require a 3 month weight management program (weigh in every 30 days for 90 days), 1 psychological visit, 1 nutritional visit. Surgeon requirements are Blood work, Endoscopy & cardiac clearance & to lose 5lbs by the end of the 90 days. I only completed the Egd on the 3rd & labs on 1/20. April 20th will make my 90 days & then they can submit everything to the insurance. Im hoping to get sleeved in May. That'll be a nice mothers day present. But Geeeshh this is a lot when your working a full time 9-5☺

My first appointment with the surgeon was great! I have to do a 90 day weight management & what's even more surprising is that he only wants me to lose 5lbs in 90 days!! My requirements list isn't that bad either. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Any one's surgery weight was around 270ish, height 5'6ish with any success stories and/or amazing post op updates? I would love to hear some.. being that is my height & weight and want to feel great about my upcoming surgery.. (although all bodies are different) I would still love to hear about them!

@@elizabethrudy 6 Months is already a pain. If you don't mind me asking, why do you have to wait an additional 2 months?

To all of my vets!! Did anyone have to get a tummy tuck after a huge amount of weight loss? If so, did your insurance cover it, As it being Medically Necessary? I know some people said they snapped back without a tummy tuck and others had very loose skin.

@@livvsmum my insurance told me no cosmetic or plastics. So I guess I will just have to pay for that out of pocket. I'm just wondering where would I get that large lump of money from Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

@@_bribri1001 your doing amazing hun! I sure wish my butt was 206 as of right now & I haven't even had the surgery yet. Just imagine there is someone out there that's wanting to be exactly where you are. You have plenty of months to go for it to shed off. Always remember "weight loss is a sprint, not a marathon" it'll happen but not overnight!

@@msjessy323 that's very cute! who made it?

@@danithomas what made you want to change from sleeve to bypassif you don't mind me asking?
