Will this affect my process and how my insurance will look at it? I am very desperate. I weight 237 and my height is 5'3" I have 3 more appointments to go. HELP!!!!!

 You are not fat. You HAVE fat. "FAT" does NOT define you.

hey. How did it go? Have you started losing weight yet? Some doctors want to see that you are committed and that you will be successful post-op. They give you a percentage or a specific number to lose... or your Dr will be able to show your insurance company that you failed losing weight even under a doctor's supervision. That can be a good thing. I'm stuck at about 10-11 lbs lost. I need to be more disciplined. Can u let me know what's working for you?

First and foremost don't think too much about losing weight. If you over think it, it won't happen. Focus exercise.  Did your doctor mention a liquid diet for you yet? If not consider asking about it. I had my surgery in NJ and I am 5 years post op now living in FL. 

Good luck.
