wyominggirl 30 Posted November 25, 2016 Both of my denied letter stated that I didn't have enough evidence of weight loss history. I had 6 months of food logs, dietician notes, etc. We also submitted notes from my PCP for the last 4 years. My surgeons office called them after the 2nd letter and I was approved within 24 hours after that. I had given up and looking at Mexico.

favoredlife 13 Posted December 29, 2016 Well good for you. Yes, the first couple weeks are trying... Hang in there & trust me when I say FIGHT THE URGES. You'll want to cheat, just sneak something here & there, but it's not worth it. I also had a hiatal hernia repaired. I had horrible acid reflux with bad night time cough. 4 drs & only my surgeon thought about a possible hernia Causing it all. Sleeved 11/18. Highest weight 291. Current weight 248!
