Where are you in the process......

Thought it might be fun to have everyone update their status and, if post op, their weight loss. I'll go first. I am 3-1/2 weeks out and down 25 lbs. Yipeeeeeeeee! How about you????? Susann

I'm 21 weeks post op. I'm down 82 lbs. I would do this surgery again in a hear beat. It was the best thing I did for myself. Wendy

I am 10 weeks out and I have lost 54lbs

I am 8 weeks out and I am down 43 lbs. I feel good!

You need to give us a new picture!!! Hiya Heather! Leisa

CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL THE POST OPS You ALL inspire me!!! I just had my psych eval today...Psychiatrist visit scheduled for 12-08...Surgeon consult and nutritionist visit scheduled for 12-09(my husbands birthday) my first pre surgery group meeting is on 12-12... I,m on my way Tonya

YOU ARE ON YOUR WAY NOW, MS TONYA!!!!! I WAS NEVER SURE IF THEY WANTED US SANE OR INSANE TO APPROVE US FOR THIS SURGERY! IT WILL GO SO FAST NOW ... ONE DAY YOU'RE MEETING THE SUGEON & IN NO TIME YOU'RE ON THE BOARDS TELLING US HOW GREAT YOUR SURGERY WENT & HOW MUCH WEIGHT YOU'VE LOST! GOD BLESS YOU DAWN & NICK

I am 4 weeks out and i have lost 35lbs!!!!!Good luck everyone!!!

Frustrated. (CIGNA...CIGNA...CIGNA...) I was scheduled for dec7, for surgery my paperwork was late going out and then I Denied. Then told by joyce that CIGNA, probaly would not cover WLS in 2006.(there is alot more to my story, but i am but tired of whining) So that is were i I am in this process.

DON'T ACCEPT ANYTHING THAT ANYONE TELLS YOU, EVER!!!!!!!! ... YOU GET IN THERE & FIGHT FOR YOUR APPROVAL - MAKE IT HAPPEN FOR YOURSELF. THIS IS FAR TOO IMPORTANT FOR YOUR HEALTH TO GIVE UP NO MATTER HOW AWFUL IT'S BEEN UP TILL NOW! GET CIGNA TO SEND (IN WRITING) THE REASON FOR THEIR DENIAL & GO FROM THERE GIVING THEM WHAT THEY NEED. GET A COPY OF THEIR CRITERIA FOR APPROVAL FOR WLS ... BE SURE YOUR DENIAL WASN'T BASELESS. GEEZ, CIGNA & BC/BS OF TEXAS & NJ (I THINK) SEEM TO BE THE PITS. I THINK MS SUSANN HAD CIGNA & HAD A TON OF PROBLEMS ... SHE DIDN'T EVER GIVE UP & JUST HAD HER SURGERY. IT'LL HAPPEN, MASTER DAVID!!!!!!!! GOD BLESS YOU DAWN & NICK
