I've been weight lifting for about a month and I've progressively gotten more and more tired and it's been getting harder. My doc says I'm not getting enough calories and I had been doing 1500 and struggled to get that in. He says I should be doing 2

So far this has been the most frustrating part of my weight loss journey. I've lost 100 lbs in a year, I'm at 160lbs and my breasts especially make me feel incredibly self conscious. My boyfriend tells me all the time he loves my body, but I'm not in

Hello Everyone!

I recently decided originally I wanted the sleeve, only to be disappointed to find out that my insurance only covers the band and RNY. The band scares me, and I almost decided to give up until someone told me most peo

Hello!

My name is Melissa and it looks like the options my insurance will cover for WLS are not good ones for me and at this point, it's the specific method I want, or nothing at all.

Hello Everyone!

I had a general question and wanted to see if anyone had challenged their insurance who covered other gastric surgical procedures, but not a one you specifically want/need? I want the sleeve and it's the best fit for
