Thank u! My bariatric doctor told me as long as i had 4-6 visits w/ my PCP i should be fine however he cant confirm becuz the insurance change their requirements all the time. Hopefully I dont have to wait 6 months! Im ready to kick depression in the face and feel good again!!... Have u had ur surgery yet? How has the journey been for u? Has the insurance given u a hard time?

Ur right, it will. I just got the insurance after months of the run around. After having my 2 kids I have stayed at about 250. Im 265 now. My bmi is about 42. How bout u if u dont mind me asking?

[Shauna29 47]

Tbh: I've always been around 160-170, But after I had my son I blew up like a balloon lol. But Im 300 as we speak might be less than that I haven't been weighed In 3 weeks.

[mrsaizsha_101 23]

Having kids will definitely do it! I was 135 before I had my son. I went up to 230 when I had him. Went down to 200 then I had my daughter and went up to 275. I have been stuck at 265. But we are bout to be on the losing side soon!!
