Starting the process


Had my first appointment this week at the doctor's. I go for my first nutrition class tomorrow. According to the BMI charts, I need to lose about 160 lbs. (gosh that looks aweful in writing!) I am 5'10" and currently weight 328.5. My BMI is 47 with no comobidities. I read that my insurance is actually one of the easier ones to get approval from, but when I went in, the nurse said they used to be one of the more difficult ones. That kinda scared me a little. Hoping she was wrong!!!

Good luck everyone!!

hi Kathy,
welcome to LBT!

its sometimes a long journey getting approved (or self-paying) but, IMO, totally worth it.

best of luck to you!
