Going to the seminar!

[mal0712 101]

Well I will be diving into the seminar in July!!! One question I have about the pre- surgery weight loss ( my insurance requires me to lose 10% of my total weight) does that weight start from

When I went to my PCP or the surgeon?

Your weight loss should begin after your first appointment with your surgeon. They will record this as your starting weight. If you lose, say, 12 pounds before your first appointment, this will not count toward your 10%. So, you probably don't want to start losing weight until the surgeon's office records a starting weight and tells you to start losing. They will generally put you on a specific eating plan at that point, as well. Good luck! I wish you much success and good health!

That was exactly what I wanted to know. I didn't want to start now with my pcp and the weight loss not count towards my 10%!!!

Congrats on taking the first steps to success. I'm currently jumping through the insurance hurdles, but it will be worth it in the end!

That part I'm not looking forward to lol. My pcp already told me that I'll be denied and will have to appeal :/. Apparently my insurance company is notorious for it. But she said she will do whatever I need her to in order to get me this surgery! I love that lady
