You said everything you need to know...get back on track. You can do it!! Follow your rules and stick with it. Right now it's only 20lbs so this is the best time to take back those lbs. It will happen to the best of us one day so you are not alone. Just dont let it continue.

Good luck on getting back on your journey and dont let the snack monster set  you back !!!

I havent been on in a very long time but this happens to alot of post opers. I am almost 2 years out and have 25 lbs to my goal wt but reached my major goal of being in the hundres again...I did this a few mths ago but just now have been able to post it.   I was 365 lbs at 5 ft 3 and was not able to wear jeans because they didn't make them big enough I am now in a size 16 to 18 depending on the brand and lg to xlg tops...I am able to shop at all my fav stores it is so great.....I need to have a tummy tuck but i am good at hideing my apron lol....i have been in a very long stall of about 3 mths but thats ok its just my body adjusting to its new self..

Been stuck between 278.2 and 279 for about 10 days.  Frustrating, but I know it's just part of the journey.

On the positive side, I have gone from a size 26 (tight) to a size 20 bottom and 14/16 top since the end of August! 

Hello Okie Friends!  Remeber me?  I am five and a half years post op and have gained back 20 lbs.  Help!  I need to get back on track!

Hi Sherri,

like you, I haven't been around in a while. Tried bck in 2007 to get wls and did not qualify due to no comorbidities. I have recently begun my wls journey again.  I now have a qualifying comorbidity (sleep apnea).   I have just finished my seminar for Dr. Fuller in Little Rock and am now in the process of gathering all the paperwork and records I need.  I too am onYour Medicare and Medicaid.  From what I am being told, medicaid is the hardest insurance to qualify for wls.  They want a bmi of 40 or greater with atleast one comorbidity. You must have completed a 6 month medically supervised diet within the last 18 months.  Which it looks like I will have to repeat, since I did mine in 2008. UUggghhh!  You have to have certain lab work done. Your family physician has to submit a letter of medical necessity. You have to gather all your records from the last 6 months and proof of weight for the last 3-5 years (vitals from dr. visits). You have to have a psychiatric evaluation and an appt. with a nutritionist.  i think that is it.  But, your wls surgeons office should have all the medicaid requirements that they can print out for you.  Mine gave them to me in a check off list, so that I could check everything off as I got it.   Looks like we are about in the same boat.  Keep in touch and let me know how things are going. Maybe we can help each other along.   God Bless &Good Luck!
