Pre-op but still trying

I cruise 80% of the baords on the site and comment only when I have something to say.
I have not really spent much time on this particiular board but when I have been here I must give kudos to those that are loosing with out wls.
I am still pre op and in a battle with my insurance company to get approval.  Even though I am pre op on RNY I am doing what I have to /can to get the weight down.  I am going to the gym and exercising what meds and body will allow, watching what I eat in the limits of a diabetic diet.
I am seeing some result. slow but seeing some just the same. 15 lbs lost in 6 months

I just want to say that I have a lot of respect for those that can do it, keep it off and succeed with out wls.

Good luck to everyone and I will be cruising around

Hi and may God bless ur weight loss journey.  It is a difficult fight regardless of how u do it.  I will give you a word of advice...........deal with your food issues.  If you are addicted to food or have bingeing/overeating issues......get into a program that will help u work thru those issues.  If u don't there is a big possibility that u will find urself looking to do something else surgical later or picking up some different addiction.   I have always lost weight but nobody can keep it off if they don't deal with the reasons why they are overweight.  Whatever you do....never give up on urself, God never does!!!  Keep us posted!! 

PhatPanda is right - use this time right now to deal with issues so you'll be better prepared for surgery. Read through all the boards so you get a good understanding about the lifestyles imposed by the different surgeries. Good luck.
