It has been a while since I have been on this site however, all is well. I am still striving to meet my goal weight. I celebrated 2 yrs in December. I have 85 more lbs to lose to reach goal. I have been putting my Fitbit to good use. If any of you guys have a fitbit look me up.

4 week post op stall? cant be happening!
CMWSleeved replied to lcoll's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
LCOLL, please don't get discouraged. I hit a stall at 3 weeks myself. I lost 28 lbs and the scale stopped moving. I am 9 weeks post op and what i did was started exercising more with walking and fitness dvds, increased my water and protein intake. I was also constipated and got some over the counter milk of magnesia and that helped me. The next thing I knew my scale started moving again. During my stall i was still losing inches. You may want to get a body tape measure and start documenting your inches in your legs,arms, neck, hips, stomach areas because this will assure you that you are still losing from week to week even when the scale does not seem to be moving. Please stay encouraged during this process. You will get past it. -
63 lbs gone. 9 weeks post op. I feel great.

Hey guys thank you so much for your well wishes. Just wanted to give you guys an update on where I am. I went and saw my surgeon for my pre-op visit on Nov. 7th and he told me then that he wanted me to start my pre-op diet and for Thanksgiving he allowed me to eat all of the turkey I wanted since it was a protein, a good amount of veggies w/o a lot of extra calories (butter, oils, grease). I could only have a very, very, very small portion of starch items. I must say I did very well. I have...

I'm afraid that psych eval will deny me
CMWSleeved replied to ArnoldS's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Hey Martha, try not to worry. The psych eval is just to make sure that you do not suffer from schizophrenia. What insurance do you have? When in doubt contact them and ask about what they are looking for within the psych evaluation. Try to speak with someone in the actual authorization dept. They would be able to give you more in depth information on the qualifications. -
First Dr appointment
CMWSleeved replied to HoustonTexanFan's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Hey guys, I also expect to be a December Sleever. Thankfully i am in good health just that i am obese. No high blood pressure, diabetes, liver or kidney issues. I had my physical on August 5th and everything was fine, my blood work came back fine as well. I do not have any of the indications for sleep apenia so neither my surgeon nor my PCP required me to be tested. My abdominal ultrasound came back fine. I had my first visit with the nutritionist on August 21st and i had my psych eval done on July 25th. Now all i have to do is complete my vitamin and pre-op classes with the nutritionist and complete my monthly weigh-in with the PCP. My last weigh-in will be November 7th. I can't wait to get on the other side of this weight. -
I had my inital evaluation with the Dietician on yesterday. The visit went well. Getting closer to the other side each week.

The Letter of Medical Necessity from PCP(Per Cigna must be on letterhead. Must say recommending surgery & is medically cleared for surgery or must state No Contraindications)

Question for you Catobird1225 The supervised weightloss that you have done already, was that within the last 2 months? Meaning do you already have documentation for June, July or July and August?
