Thinking of joining WW ?
digi1024 replied to digi1024's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
My plan was to just attend the support meetings but to continue my Bariatric eating and just to use them as a weekly discipline group and weigh in . My job pays for WW but also paid for my surgery . Definitely have no interest in making friends there since I would have nothing in common with anyone . I am seeing a nutritionist but I feel like they rush me in and out and I don't learn anything . She gives me the same crappy menu every month when I go . The old me always wanted to be a lifetime member at WW [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23]and I couldn't even lose 5 pounds . Maybe I just want to say haha I did it who knows . But I can tell you that since my surgeon only sees me every 3 months now, since my last visit I have been careless since I know I don't have to answer to anyone until the end of September. I haven't lost and am playing with the same 3 pounds . -

Both my parents lost 100 pounds doing WW and kept it off . Me not so much I couldn't do it . Money is not the issue for me $15 dollars a week is not going to kill me . I think it will be interesting to hear other people's success and failures that's how I will continue to learn . I can still continue my Bariatric eating staying away from carbs and sugars and continue to eat high protein . I think I will be more aware of what I'm eating .i am finding the maintenance phase to be the hardest so far . The weekly discipline is what I need . -
Is it crazy to join Weight Watchers ?? I had my surgery 1 year ago lost 100 pounds [emoji4][emoji4][emoji4] Just had a breast reduction June 12 . Feeling awesome .I can't find a nutritionist that is the least bit helpful . ( couldn't find one I liked before my surgery either ) My weigh ins now are 3 months apart instead of monthly . That's not going to work for me I need the monthly discipline, and to be honest weekly discipline works even better for me . I understand that I would continue to stay away from sugar and carbs . Is this a crazy idea ??

I'm just taking a personal leave of a abcence. , unpaid . So my question is , would my insurance company send any paperwork to my job.

Thanks that's what I thought .

If I choose not to tell anyone at work is there any way they can find out from my health insurance (that they pay for ) what I had done ? My plan is just to take a leave of absence .

If I choose not to tell anyone at work is there any way Human Resources can find out what I had done ?

If I have a bill that was denied by my primary insurance because it was out of network, but my secondary pays out of network benefits can I send it to the secondary ?

Has anyone gotten a breast reduction after their surgery ? I went to see a plastic surgeon for a lift and was informed if I get a reduction it would be covered 100% by my insurance . They automatically do a lift with a reduction which is much needed after losing 85 pounds with my sleeve. I have plenty to spare so I am considering it . Can anyone share their experiences or offer any advice ?

August 2016 Sleeve Surgery ---How is everyone doing 8 months out.

My surgery was 8/31 . I have lost 85 pounds . Kind of stuck now and the scale is moving about 5 pounds a month. I started at 276 and now I am 191. Feel great and am definitely losing inches . No regrets !! -

Omg I just posted almost the same exact question . I've only lost 12 pounds in the last 3 months . I'm 8 months post op and about 25 pounds from goal . I've lost 85 lbs total . It's so frustrating . How many grams of protein are you eating ?

I am 8 months post op . My last three weigh ins I lost 6 pounds , four pounds and this month 2 pounds . I am at a total of 85 pounds . I'm feeling a little disappointed. 12 pounds in 3 months is so little for as hard as I am working . My surgeon says The weight loss will taper off since I only have about 25 pounds to go . But I will still lose inches . Is anyone else experiencing this ??
