HI!! I am doing well. I had my surgery in Dec 2013, so I am well out...lol! I've had a bit of trouble losing the last 30lbs that I want to lose, but overall I am very happy with my results!

So glad to see some activity on the "Burgh Board"! I hope everyone is doing well and will continue to update this thread. I am officially 3 years out and dealing with about 5lbs of regain. I will always be a work in progress.

Hey Lorie!!!!

Glad to know you are doing well. 5lbs regain is nothing when you think of the statistics of weight regain. Yes, I know 5 lbs can lead to 10lbs can lead to more, but don't be too hard on yourself. I'm proud of you! Now, if you can only tell me how to get rid of the last 30lbs I am holding on to! I guess I should be happy that I haven't lost. My PCP tells me that my body might just be telling me this is the weight I belong at, but I'm not buying that.

Does anyone have United Health Care? I have a friend that is trying to get approved for surgery but is being told they don't cover Bariatric Surgery!

[Bluesky1 191]

I have United Health Care Community Plan (Medicaid) and they covered it.
