I was in the same situation so I changed my surgeon to Dr S Scott Davis Jr. he came recommended by my first surgeon and a member on VST. He is associated with Emory University -Midtown Atlanta. I met with him and really like him and his office. I think his scheduling did not meet my expectations though. I was approved by insurance on 2/17/11 and it took a week for the doctor's office to call and schedule my pre-op testing for 3/16/11 (three weeks later). I still need a 2nd's surgeon's appt and then they will schedule surgery. I have no idea when my surgery date will be. It just seems to be taking a long time.

Wonderful nsv ... what a wonderful day for you!

Best wishes being sent in your direction ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Have you taken your height measurement. If you are shorter than you thought your BMI goes up.

Very excited for you!

Thanks guys. I think I just needed to hear that it's normal. When you're not sleeved, nearly 3 weeks of not losing weight usually means you're not doing something you should be or something ya know? My brain just keeps going back there and second guessing me. Daisy, my clothes were getting a little looser and measurements have dropped from preop but not since. I'm literally sitting my butt right here LOL. When's your sleeve date? I am going crazy waiting for my surgeon's office to schedule my: Pre-op testing -then 2nd surgeon visit -then Surgery They got insurance approval last Thursday. So long story I don't have my date yet, but am crossing my fingers for March.

I have UHC but through the GA state employees.

Welcome to VST!!!!!!!!!!!!!! There are lots of wonderful caring members here. I am hoping for a March surgery date too. Look around and ask questions. The people are GREAT!

Look on the bright side ... TOM will not be during surgery.

Wonderful to news to hear about the skin tightening effects ... I know the zoo was a lot of fun for you!

Very exciting news and very fast approaching!!!!!!!!

Congrats!!!!!!!!!!! I am glad you are doing so well

I am sorry to hear things are not going as you expected. Have you taken measurements? Are your clothes feeling looser? The scale is not the only measurement. I am pre-sleeve so you can remind me of the same thing when I am frustrated about something down the line too. lol. Keep doing as your doctor instructed and the scale will move again.

Thanks for taking a breather from life and posting your update! I love hearing/learning from those that have gone before me in this process. You have come a long way on your journey ... Congrats!

GREAT job !!!!!!!!!!!! Keep it up

Prayers going out to you. I hope everything goes well!

I hear ya Becca. I went to one of my support group meetings with a migraine. I should have gone to bed but insurance required 6 consecutive months of support groups. I was not about to start over.

Happy Valentine's Day!!!!!! Paperwork to insurance in 2 days!!!!!!!!!!!
