I have BSBS and I am still waiting for approval. My doctor sent this is in as just a regular surgery instead of a gastric surgery because it is mainly to heal my GERD... They came back and said I had to do all the things of a gastric surgery. So I went and had my psych evaluation Monday and did a nutritional assessment and they have to resubmit it! So I am patiently waiting!!

I had the gastric sleeve in December 2012. I lost 100 lbs but have since gained back 55 Lbs. I have extreme GERD, have been hospitalized for Ulcers. i went and met with the doctor and he recommended doing the bypass to alleviate my GERD and other issues. i am now waiting on my ins approval. Has anyone else had this procedure done? did it relieve your GERD and how much additional weight did you lose?

I too am at a stall! I had surger dec 28th and have lost 71 lbs so far! But for like the last month i have gone up a lb then down a lb!! Its so frustrating! I havent been working out because I just moved and im still getting settles from that plus I work full time and have 3 kids! Glad i have lost this much but its getting discouraging now

I wouldve kicked the doc in the face if i wasnt so high that I was delerious. lol

Did your doctor check you for a leak before leaving the hospital? My doctor sent me to radiology where I had to drink Fluid while the radiologist monitored the fluid. I was told everything looked perfect and I was able to watch the monitor as well. Is it possible to go through this with a radiologist and still develop a leak? Has that ever happened to anybody?

Thanks! I would be ok if i lost something everyday but not losing in 2 days has really upset me. im going to have my husband ide my scale because i cannot live like this, being upset every day. I need to only weigh myself once a week.my doc should release me to start working out tomorrow so hopefully that helps too

Thanks everyone for he encouraging words!!

I confess that I too, think about food way too much, but I know Im not really hungry.
I confess, because of number 1, that I am totally addicted to sunflower seeds
I confess that I drink caffeinated coffee everyday, but add Unjury unflavored to it.
I confess that since I quit smoking in December, I still think about smokes everyday. (prolly explains #2)
I confess I eat chocolate once in a while, but I think that is why I DON'T eat it everyday.
I confess that I USED to get upset about missing my old eating habits, but now Im proud of the fact that I don't give a crap about it anymore
I confess that I lie to my husband when he wants to go out to eat and I don't. I tell him I don't feel like it. The truth is, I have better things to do than to sit and watch him and the boys make 5 trips to the buffet.
I confess that I am secretly amused when my husband eats a big plate of carbs and fat... I just think "Keep going skinny man, one day you wont fit into that chair".
I confess that I am proud of the fact that I am forty something and getting physically fit. I make sure everyone in the house knows I just came from the gym.
I confess that I looked in the mirror way too much today, the first day I have worn size 14s.
