Hi Everyone,

This is my first post and i am looking for some comfort or advice. I began this process in august 08. i have completed the NUT and psych evals and am going for my second visit with the surgeon on dec 1. i think after this meeting if he approves me everything then gets sent to insurance for approval. However during the last 4 months my weight has fluccuated about 10lbs. At my first visit with the surgeon i weighed around 247 now i am between 255-260. do you think since i have gained he will not approve me for surgery?? i have started to address things that have contributed to my weight and have begun seeing a psych. Has anyone expierenced this? I really hope i am still able to be approved! thanks for taking the time to read this:smile2:

I don't think you have to worry about losing weight until your sugeon tells you to. He will probably ask you to lose weight for a period of time right before your sugery so your liver will be nice and small for the surgery. In regards to gaining weight, it may actually help your case with the insurance company.
