Hello Everyone!

Hi there.
My name is Liz (or Elizabeth
) and I'm just starting my journey here again realizing that this is something I need to do (and finding insurance that will take me haha!) so I wanted to post here and perhaps connect with some new friends! So this is just me saying hi and that I hope to become active here soon!


Hi Liz! Welcome! Good luck with the insurance. Just don't get Aetna or Cigna! I've heard they are the worst two as far as WLS is concerned. I know Aetna sucks because I have it. They have already denied me once and I am going to have to start all over again with the papers. I am on the 6 months doctor supervised diet that is just about required by all insurances now and will be done with that on June 27th and we will send in the papers all over again and start once more. I've been trying to get this surgery since November and am going nowhere fast.
We have two things in common. We're both witches and we both weigh 360. I have gained 5 lbs. since I've been on the 6 months diet
which sucks. My doctor put me on a 1400 calorie diet even though I told him I cannot lose weight on 1400 calories. So I have gained 5 lbs. It's crazy. Diets do not work or we'd all be thin.
Anyway, I am about to get off of here and go to bed, but wanted to say hello and welcome.
Joni
