|  I don't qualify, Goodbye!!
Hi everyone. I found out today that I don't qualify for the surgery. My insurance states that I would of had to of been overweight with a BMI of over 40 for the last 5 years and I didn't have that 5 years ago.. so I AM NOT going to stay this weight for the next 2 years, I am going to do it the old fashioned way!! Good luck everyone and thanks!

Jennifer, like others have said, you don't have to go anywhere just because you aren't having the surgery. We can still be here to encourage you.

We have several people here that didnt have the surgery for various reasons including not qualifing with the insurance. They stayed for support and to find out how we eat now and they mirror that. We will help you along honey if you want us to its your choice.

Not to sound repetitive but DON'T GO!!! I have not had the surgery yet. I am still waiting to get insurance but these ladies are definately a great resource and a wonderful support team! We all celebrate our weight losses no matter how we've accomplished the loss. Not only are we here for weightloss support but to give each other advice in other areas as well. Who else is going to understand you better than people who have been where you are. Please reconsider
