I was trying to find the best place to post, but some boards haven't been used recently, so I thought I'd try here. In a nutshell, I had my sleeve done in 2015 - had some complications and ended up having it converted to a bypass in November 2017. I used to be a sound sleeper, but a few months after my sleeve, my best friend committed suicide. So, I gradually started eating at night, because I couldn't sleep and found it comforting. Since then, it's been a struggle. I'm working with my psychiatrist, Bariatric surgeon, nutritionist, I go to support group meetings, but I'd love to hear from others who are experiencing this, or have found a way to conquer the beast. I exercise, do my best to eat protein if I wake up (but at 1 am who truly wants protein?), I track my food every day, I've researched tips and tricks, but my nighttime eating causes me to have a lot of anxiety. I also had a hysterectomy in May, and the shift in hormones isn't helping either. I was seeing a therapist as well, but she just judged me and made me feel worse.

I hope someone out there can relate to what I'm going through.

NSV.. WOOHOO!! As of last Thursday and after 6 months post-op of hydration and nutrition my PICC Line is out and I am FREE and 75lbs down

Sorry what do you mean rider? Is this something I can call ahead of with UHC to find out? Thank you

UHC covers WLS. The real question is if your employer has bought the rider that covers WLS for its employees. If the county didn't buy the rider, the insurance company won't pay for WLS.
