Same here, super frustrating and I have been doing everything right. Increased my exercise, eating healthier each month and I was down 4, now I am back up 3. Aghhh!

In addition to recently have a sleeve myself, I also work for an insurance company. Are you sure it is completely excluded, or are there steps you need to go through? Ms y companies will pay if you try other things first. Can your Doctor argue that it is medical necessity? The results are proven, no longer debatable. Most insurance will cover over a certain BMI with other conditions. Make sure you are not just talking to the first line call center, but a case manager or someone in utilization management. It is cost effective for employers to cover these things in their policies now as it is more expensive to treat your other conditions long term. Sorry for probably too much info, just want to make sure you don’t have to pay if you don’t have to. That said, it is well worth it if you are ready to do the work. I have lost 65 pounds in the last four months, blood pressure is great and cholesterol has come down 40 points already. After 20 years of struggling with food, I finally have a tool to help me get control which has been beneficial physically, emotionally and spiritually. Just my two cents! Best wishes!

First of all, one of my cats looks very similar to your profile photo! I too am getting refocused on improving my nutrition as I have not been really going over calorie-wise, but have to remember that my ultimate goal is to be as healthy as possible, not just loose weight. I am also upping my exercise game and have started doing piyo 3-4 days a week. I can’t wait until the snow is gone and I can get out and walk!

Congrats! It is an awesome thing to feel our bodies changing in such a positive way!

Surgery on 10/2. Down 60 pounds total,41 since surgery. Exercise has been tough with the cold winter and started loosing quite a bit of hair a couple weeks though which is tough because I didn’t have a lot to begin with. Hoping it comes back
