I called atena today and they said they are missing info and that they had called my surgeons office last Friday but the office was closed so they mailed a letter to them. the lady said they wanted to know if I had a comorbidity(which I didn't think mattered since my bmi was 40. They also said they didn't receive my initial initial physical assessment. I will be calling my surgeons office @ 9 am tomorrow

Hey, no. I actually had to call them but my dr has to send in her portion but the real reason it takes 6 months is because I'm required to see the dietician 6x but you can only see them once a month ????. Also I'm waiting to be scheduled for my sleep apnea test & then once the results come in my surgeon will send his portion & then hopefully speaking that I get approved then the surgeon will schedule the appointment...it's just a lot of paper work & waiting & appointments. So I'm praying I get approved after having to go through so much.

@@JessNewGoals25 ... a few months?? Omg!

Right. My insurance told me it could be between 6-9 months but the surgeon & my primary said all of there previous patients has been 6 months so I shouldn't be any different but still that's long

Yes, but it will move. I had 4 months of testing and appts, and this month is taking me into my 5th month. But it has moved so quickly!

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.
