Congrats!!! I was so happy they approved me too! What insurance do u have? Also if ur only 197 r u doing lapband or gastric? Gastric I thought was if ur at least 100lbs over weight?

Lets see if this itouch let's me write.

I started at 211lbs.. Yes you should be 100lbs over weight to get WLS but I'm getting it done. I don't want to be fat. I'm having breathing problems & back & knee problems. I don't wanna die. My doctor agree with my reasons & approved me for surgery. The therapist & nutritionist agree with me & my surgeon. They feel my mind is set & this is what done so they are approving me & I will get surgery done. I'm getting gastric bypass.

Unfortunately I have metroplus. It's a government insurance. Since I lost my job over 2 years ago. I had 1199 which was the best insurance ever. They pay for my teenager braces.

Thanks girl yes we are all on a journey to avoid or stop future damage on the body. Some ppl don't believe it but it's not healthy being under weight or over weight.

Hello I started April 30' date=' 2012 this diet. I heard of some people losing a lot,and other a little,but I have to have in mind that everyone is different,and as long as I'm losing weight,and not gaining that is all I care about.

If you want to know how long in total till my surgery day. I started March 2012 appointments,and blood test ect.. till April,and continue May,and now I'm more then ready to start a new life. Looking forward to May 30.[/quote']
