So I'm just curious and this might be a dumb question but what exactly should I be looking for on food nutrition labels? How many grams of fat, sugar, carbs and protein should I check for?

So I had my pre-op EKG done and I was called because the results came back abnormal with an irregular heartbeat. My surgery is in about 3 weeks and I am concerned now. I was told to go see my PCP to get clearance for this and get an EKG redone. Has any

Sometimes I feel that friends are way more supportive

So, we went ahead and sent in everything to my insurance but they denied saying that I have not been morbidly obese for the past three years. Not sure why they say I haven't been, because my BMI has been above 40 since before April of 2012, so I'm not

So everything has been submitted to my surgeon to be sent off for insurance approval. The only thing missing is my letter from a doctor. How did you all go about asking for this letter? The first medical opinion I had about wls was from my Ob-gyn. So i
