The key is support and exercise!

I had my surgery February 20th. I had back pain too. I have lost 15lbs. I feel so much better.I was on liquids for two weeks also. How much have you lost now?

I had my surgery on February 20th. Doing good how are you?

If you do not have any other problems your bmi needs to be at least 40bmi. I just went through this and my insurance company denied me at first because my bmi was 39.2 less then .8 what it should be.They told me even if I was overweight and have been all my life to gain at least 5lbs. I appealed and gained about 10. Had surgery in Feb.

Hi Rocky I'm new here too.

Don't give up.My journey started over 2 yrs ago. The first surgical group I went to was only in it for the money and would not work with me so not having a good feeling about that group I decided to look for another group. In the process I got sick with stomach problems and lost 20 lbs. I knew this was not the way to lose weight so I started looking for another surgeron in July of last year. Things were scheduled for October 13th. The day before my surgery the drs. office called with bad news my insurance company had denied to approve my surgery because my bmi was .8 less then what it should be and that I needed to gain 5lbs. So they would not deny me again I gained 10. I also appealled. They wanted medical records from every dr and hospital that I had been seen by. Finally after 3mths they approved and I had my surgery in Feb. The last month was the hardest because they left me hanging. I called them almost everyday. When I say don't give up I can speak from true experience. I wish I had had this procedure many yrs ago. It's worth it. I already feel better!
