They told me to expect a date about the end of march or the first part of April. So, we may be having surgery at about the same time.

I'm right there with you, submitting to insurance and waiting.   (fingers are crossed for both of us).

My insurance requires either 6 months weigh ins or  2 three-month stints with Weigh****chers, Jenny Craig, etc....  and what I'm submitting right now is 3 months weigh ins with my PCP and 4 months documentation with Nutrisystem, so I'm worried that they will nitpick that I did half and half and not the full six months OR documentation of TWO prior diet attempts.   Hopefully they wont split hairs.  I'm 200 pounds overweight so really I expect they wouldnt split hairs, not like I'm a lightweight or anything.

I also am hoping mine does not split hairs. I have no comorbidities other than slightly high blood pressure. They could also give me an issue because I have not been to the Doctor on a yearly basis. All I can document is three out of the last five years with only one Doctor visit in each of those three years. But, like you; I am way overweight. So, I should be ok too.

Each of you just need to perservere. It is so worth it! I am almost 5 months out and feel so much better. I have lost 75 pounds since surgery. I have lost a total of 99 pounds total. It is so worth it. I still am never hungry just make myself eat every 3-4 hours. Exercise 3 times a week. So much easier after the surgery.

You and I will probably be having surgery at about the same time.
