Update on restarting surgery process - any suggestions???

Hi,

I just got off the phone with the insurance person.  Everything is fine - BUT - they may have to use my weight as it was 3/1 when I first went there.  Yikes!  The doctor had wanted me to lose 15# prior to surgery, my BMI 3/1 was 41 (I really worked hard for that too!), now I am just under 40 - probably 39.  They will weigh me in two days - the first time they weighed me I wore very heavy clothes, boots, had my cell phone in my pocket, etc.  I think I will wear heavy clothes, etc again.  Luckily for my  health, I have no co-mobidities.

Any other ideas???

Actually - I just got on  home scale and think I will be OK without doing anything!!!  

Thanks again for all the nice support on this board.  :)

Drink lots of water and don't pee until after you weigh.

Best of luck.

Hate to say this, but try not to poop either. That stuff can weigh up to 5 pounds LOL . Keep shoes on, stuff your pockets with crap, even put a full water bottle in your pocket! I did all this too just to make sure I hit the weight mark.

Thanks for the suggestions!

I am getting so excited!  The earliest any surgery would happen would be May - probably end of it according to doctor's office. 

I figure if I lose weight by then I win, and if not and get the surgery I still win.  I could just kick myself for not keeping with the program last year.  The one thing I am glad about is now my insurance covers the sleeve which is what I want so I guess it was meant to be.
