I'm 17 and I'm just waiting for insurance to approve me. My two close friends are both in a way not supportive. One's my size and the other is skinny. The skinny one is conceited, I still love her lol, I think she feels competition. Like she doesn't want me to lose weight because she THINKS I will be prettier than her. The one my size...she obviously knows how I feel...but she's not supportive. Not sure why. Anyone have these problems...or solutions? It would be so much better if they both approved.

I'm trying to be! Being only 17 it will be harder. The surgeon himself, I think Dr. Hoehn, said it won't bother him...just the whole emotional and mind thing. So I'm worrying about the physicatrist. Lol sorry about that spelling. Then you need to send your packet of 8 pages, which you get the seminar, and send them to YOUR doctor. Not them. Your doctor then has to send all your weight history, office visits, and recent lab work. After they recieve this and check it. They contact you and make an appointment with thier physician. At your first visit you have to have $500. Non refundable. It covers the seminar, insurance things, clinical support, education classes, and post op supportive groups. Yeah they go all out. Lol. If you clear all of thier doctors...I think ones like Cardiac, Pulmonary, Phychologist and a Dietician. Not sure. But you HAVE to pass their tests. Once you have they will send "your letter of medical necessity" to the insurace company. Once insurance approves you will have a pre-operative visit and then make your surgery date. That's thier way of doing it. But otherwise...traditional things like BMI of 40, unless you have co morbities, and 5 years of obesity. Sorry that it was long. -
Try to stick it out longer! The nausea maybe from your cold...I have been sick a lot lately. I'm lucky with that flu stuff...had to go to the ER like a couple weeks ago. Once your cold leaves it could get better! Or maybe there is a certain food your body doesn't like? You want this...you'll regret it later if you give up now. You can do it...and the results will be awesome! :]

I would try Welcome to the Bariatric Center of Kansas City, Providing surgical solutions to obesity. They are a center of excellence. I'm waiting for insurance to approve me before I go back for therapy and other tests. It's required to go to an informational seminar. The surgery doctor and the therapist both seemed very nice.
