  1. Hi there. I am brand new here. My insurance, UnitedHealthCare, required me to wait 6 months to TRY to lose some weight, but they don't say how much. I'm not afraid to lose too much to be Unqualified, as I have high blood pressure (on medication) and I am diabetic now (on Metformin) and I have terrible G.E.R.D. (on medication). So even if I lose 15 lbs I will still qualify. I am currently 215 lbs at 5ft. 1" I am a bit scared of the sleeve surgery, as I'm afraid I will vomit every time I try to eat normally. I am so sick of being so overweight, so I do want this surgery. I eat from BOREDOM for sure. The TV and Snacks go together, but I'm often very hungry as well. I am embarrassed and don't want to tell anyone except my husband and my boss (because I will be out for 4-7 days from work) I want to meet others In New Jersey going through the waiting process, due to insurance. It would be nice to talk to others going through this. So far I've lost maybe 3 lbs.-4lbs It's been almost 2 months. I go to the doctor on Jan 5th for the 2nd required appt for weight loss logging. I will admit when I went for weight loss logging the first time, I stepped on the doctor's scale with my heavy motorcycle boots on and heavy denim jeans and a thick sweater. I weighted 219 lbs! Ha-ha. I was trying to. At home I had weighed 215. So when I go back on Jan. 5th I will probably be about 212, if I take off my shoes and wear lightweight clothing. ha-ha. But I really did lose about 3-4 lbs. Then in early February I go for the third weigh-in and I have to lose another pound or two. It's so hard. I eat so many veggies. Carrie
