Hi, NewLA! Congrats on your surgery! How are you feeling?

Hi, I'm going to JH Bariatrics @ Bayview as well - no surgery date yet, but I have met with my surgeon, Dr. Schweitzer, already. I have another month/6 weeks of pre-surgery insurance requirements to meet before I can get my approval and surgery date.

I am in the same boat with you, lovestohike. Am feeling a bit lost and overwhelmed with all the time I have before surgery (it looks to be October/November/December, at this point - I can't get in to see the psych until late September, otherwise I'd meet my insurance requirements in August). I tell myself I'm good, that it's not that long a time, etc. I am doing pretty well with eating/measuring/etc. and have replaced 1 meal with a Protein shake already. But it feels like I am just going through the motions. I don't have a lot of hope at the moment that I will get this weight off for good. I've done this so,so many times - my first structured weight loss attempt was when I was 14 years old. I will be 50 in October. I've more or less been this weight since I had my second child twenty years ago. I don't really know where I was going with this thought, just that I am feeling bleh and not very hopeful right now.

I met with him a few weeks ago for the sleeve. He will be my surgeon. I was impressed. He took the time to explain things and answer questions. Sent from my SM-G900P using the BariatricPal App
