My pcp was all for my wls , I have asthma, hypertension and arthritis. This should help all 3!

Aviva I am hoping to be 50 lbs lighter and in the green zone by Christmas!

You look wonderful! Congratulations!

I have my pre op weight in tomorrow morning, I am feeling better about it! Thank you for all the posts. I should have my insurance authorization in the morning. Keeping fingers crossed and staying positive !

Good to hear Neka! Congrats!

Agree

Thank you for your responses. I am rethinkg how soon I go back to work.

Thank you for our feedback! Sounds like I may be pushing it to go back that soon.

Thank you! I am feeling more confident already!!!

I am being banded on Wednesday and plan to go back to work the following Monday. I have a desk job no lifting or any thing physical. I would like to know if you folks think this will be ok. You've been throughout it already!???Š Thank you!

Good to hear you are doing so well! Keep it up!

The reality is THIS IS a form of WLS. The least invasive with the least complications. Take a peek at the duodenal switch site if you want to find complications!

Luckily I am having surgery at DMC which is a Center of Excellence. Sounds like you have had some problems with your band I hope you are ok now.

Thank you for your posts. My surgery was moved up from the 11 to the 10th. I started back on all liquids today. Hopefully I will loose a few more pounds.

I am on day 10 of my pre op diet and have lost10 pounds but I am reading that many have lost 18 to 20 pounds on this I'm really sticking to the plan and I'm not sure why I'm not losing more weight has anybody else lost 10 pounds or less under 14 day pre-op

I'm still going through insurance hell right now and best thing I can tell you is make sure that you going to a hospital that your insurance covers 100% there were some hospitals that my insurance will only cover 50% of the procedure so I had to change hospitals I'm waiting for approval on Monday for my surgery on Wednesday. As far as fills go my doctor includes your first six fills in the program after that does Bill insurance form for my insurance only allows so many per year that something else you might want to check out

You are try an inspiration! Congratulations and thank you for sharing!

Congratulations!!! So glad you are doing so well!!! I would love to follow your blog. That is a great idea. 3 more days till I am banded!!!! Come on Wednesday!!!!

Congratulations!!! Hope you are feeling well soon!

Congratulations!!! Hope you are feeling well soon!

I am doing pretty good. I don't think I am eating enough calories. Today I was super tired. Came home from work and ate a few forks full of tuna, felt better. I am down 11 lbs. how is yours going?

Stay strong and good luck!

So glad to hear you are doing well!

Awesome! I am being banded on the 10th, excited and nervous. I hope I will do as we'll as you are!

Great news, surgery scheduled for the 10th! I am so excited!
