I know that you are happy, I am 5 months out and the only thing that I wish is that I would have done it MUCH sooner! Drives me nuts because I used to work for the hospital that I did my surgery. Started working for a another hospital and went through their program and they ended up getting out of bariatrics altogether! Ended up having to go back to the other hospital ( would have gotten a 25% discount with my current employer) but oh well, thats life and at least I am 90 pounds lighter and feeling much better than I was over 6 months ago!! You will be just fine! This is just what I needed to hear. Thank you ive been running around getting work and other stuff done and it’s the first time in a week that I have paused and my nerves started getting the best of me wow 90 lbs. that’s awesome. Do you mind telling me your stats? I would love to be down 90 6 months after surgery Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kitty1392 14 Posted January 28, 2018 I did mine through BCBS of Texas. Equally annoying. Only required 4 months of a weight loss program, but they dragged out my approval for so long it took me 6 months to get a surgery date anyway [emoji849] 1 Gotalose reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
