I've been losing every month until today..my 5th weigh in I gained 7lbs!! I have BCBS of Alabama and a bmi of 61..I pray that I can still get an approval:(

If you lost that 7 plus another for your 6 months you should be fine. Just dig deep and do your very best. You may very well have gotten that 5 month almost to the finish line, "last dinner" mentality, or you may just have a little extra Water weight.

Make sure you start charting your food now, use something like myfitnesspal.com and do your very best. Of course you may want a special meal before surgery, but you worked so hard for 5 months, don't let this little bump in the road deter you. They will still approve you, but you should try to show some effort for your six month.

Good luck and it will work itself out

Thanks! I've shown effort in this five months I've lost 31lbs. Last month was rough I had sinusitis and vertigo and was on prednisone for 12 days....and I was hungry so of course I ate more than usual, but my last weigh in in july I'm gonna knock those 7 out the park and some:)

Steroids is your 7 pounds!!!! You did GREAT, you should be so darn proud of yourself of your efffort.

I have Lupus and at my 5 month, i got thrown in the hospital for pleurisy!!! I was constantly terrified I was going to get denied.

I hope your sinusitis it better and I know steroids well, Steroids and I have a love/hate relationship. I love to be on prednisone because I always feel so much better, but it does cause me to be hungrier.

Your attitude is wonderful and of course you can still find times for a special dinner, but I think you will be surprised how that comes off.

Best of luck to you and I really truly look forward to following your journey!!
