I started a group 5 years ago...We are known as * Little by Little* Weight Loss Support Group...We have approx 12-15 active members...I can share some program ideas, if you have a group started...Tammy

Thanks for sharing your journey thus far, I've noticed that it was a few months ago and I wanted to ask how it has ended up? What procedure did you end up going with and where did you have tbe surgery done?
I too have Molina Healthcare & am with Ohio Health. I still have to get three years of weight history put together and all of the other tests will fall in line. They are not making me do a sleep study because I do not have breathing problems, I do not smoke, nor do I snore or have sleep apnea. All of the testing will be done through their network and it just happens to be a 45 minute drive one way. It would really break my heart to be denied at the end of my 6months with all the hoops that I will end up jumping through. I have a BMI of 54 and take two medications daily for hypertension. I was also denied referral to see a surgeon by a neurologist because of my weight but I was not seen by a surgeon and retain a note from him to support the cause. I had a severe back injury in 2010, bulging, tearing, completely herniating 4 disks. I also have plantar fasciitis with multiplte bones spurs. They do not consider these two conditions to be grounds for coverage, but to relieve some of this pain is a miraculous dream.
Well I never thought I would take diet pills, but this one is different. All natural and it does not make you jittery. It first helps to detox your body and I have a dedicated weight loss page with tips, recipes, low carb, and healthy ideas. If you would like to follow me for support and healthy recipes follow me at

Maybe we can share ideas and support each other! I am in Medina Ohio!!!
