  2. Sleeved 2/24. HW: 301 SW: 277 CW: 257. 20lbs in one month isn't so bad. I stalled at week 3 for a week and a half. I am working out 5-6x a week for 60-90 minutes and eating around 500-600 calories a day. I average 60g of Protein a day. I need to work on getting my fluids in though!
  3. I got mine the day of surgery after not having it for months. It was horrrrrrrible the first week and a half. I am still bleeding a month later but its light.

  5. I am going through the 3 week stall right now too! The scale hasn't moved in almost a week now. Its frustrating but I know its normal.
  6. Mine is under jennifernsmith@hotmail.com!
  7. I am 8 days post op today and pretty much back to normal. I do get a little tired by the end of the day though between two kids and working full time, but its manageable.

  9. I am in the same boat! I have my pre-registration appointment tomorrow at the hospital and we have had ice all week. Hopefully the roads are clear tomorrow morning!
  10. My surgeon said a liver biopsy is normally done while they are in there as a routine test. My approval called for a liver biopsy and "whatever necessary items" just to give them wiggle room if they get in there and need to stitch something or do something else.

  16. I am getting sleeved 2/24! I have to lose 5lbs and decided to put myself on a liquid diet to make sure I lose it. My surgeon does not require a pre-op liquid diet.

  18. I skipped a year for mine and was approved, I submitted weights from 2012 and 2014.
  19. Yeah it was a total of 4 appointments. The first one was the beginning where we discussed my diet/exercise plans and goals, one at 30 days, one at 60 days, and one at 90 days.
  20. I had to do WW while checking in with my PCP once a month to have it approved. He filled out a form each visit discussing what I was doing diet and exercise wise and what we discussed.

  24. I am hoping to have it done by the end of February! I am ready to be over this part of the process Good luck on your insurance approval! Hopefully everything goes smoothly here on out for us both!
  25. Hope you all get answers soon! I am still waiting on a date. I go next week for labs, Feb 6th for a EGD, and then the week after that is my final consult and I will get a date. I hate being in somewhat limbo!
