I'm going April 3.

I attended all the meetings and appointments. I couldn't lose the weight that they wanted but as soon as quit from being discouraged I lost the weight and some. It was frustrating to change everything and not lose weight but the good thing is my dog did. Lol

In Mexico with Dr. Illan. I tried jumping through the hoops with my insurance but I couldn't jump higher enough. Became very discouraged and after alot of research decided to go with Dr Illan.

BS19gal. Where are you having your surgery?

Congratulations. That's my surgery date also.

If you take any specialty medicine bring it also. Sent from my SM-G920T using the BariatricPal App

I'm scheduled for April 3rd.

My experience...I have insurance and the hospital I chose required me to jump through so many hoops. I did everything asked of me. After of months of struggle to lose the required weight. Once I gave up I finally lost the required weight and then some. I contacted bill with Dr Illan after lots of research. I have a date for my surgery and have no desire to go back to the hospital I was going to have it originally as I never got a date just told I have to lose weight to have the surgery. With Dr Illan I got to choose the date I wanted. They have answered every question I have. I'm happy with my choice. I would say getting my date took less than 2 weeks.

Looking for support and tips. No juices no soda Small meals I bought a baby plate and the silverware to eat from 20 minute meals I walk .5 miles twice daily on my days off. As a nurse I don't walk on the days I work. Increased my Water intake. Very rarely do I eat prepackaged foods If I don't eat I lose the weight but that's not healthy. What can I do? HW to date is 275. ???? Feeling like I've failed and I never had a chance. Sent from my SM-G920T using the BariatricPal App

I have a nutrition appointment next Thursday. My current weight loss according to my scale is 10 lbs down. I'm hoping to keep the weight off for my appointment. I am a freaking yo-yo. Weight up weight down. Has anyone been denied surgery because they can't keep the weight off? I have been searching post about this and for pre surgery weight loss. I have noticed my weight goes up when I work 4 12 hour shifts together. Sent from my SM-G920T using the BariatricPal App

Paper pen and clipboard is all I took. It was a general information seminar to ask questions and learn about the process. This was through Denver Health. Sent from my SM-G920T using the BariatricPal App

Might check the other hospitals to see if it is cheaper. Sent from my SM-G920T using the BariatricPal App

I complete my required classes on the 19th. However I have a nutrition class added because i cant lose weight and keep it off. Im down 2 charted pounds. Last week I was down 7 but not charted. SOB I'm frustrated. Maybe this isn't for me. Tomorrow is another day. Good luck to everyone. Sent from my SM-G920T using the BariatricPal App

Like you I'm trying to get the weight off and finished all the requirements. I'm waiting for a date of surgery. I have found that walking my dog 3 times a day has helped me get moving. Mr Homer has been losing weight which he needed to do and I am down 7 lbs. Sent from my SM-G920T using the BariatricPal App

The coordinator called today and is canceling the test. The test is if I was getting the sleeve. The disconnect is a struggle for me. I am a planner and I research everything. Sent from my SM-G920T using the BariatricPal App

I can't delete posts. Why is the test done? I'm still waiting for the coordinator or anyone to explain this to me. Sent from my SM-G920T using the BariatricPal App

Friday I go in for an upper endoscopy with a 48 pH test. Sent from my SM-G920T using the BariatricPal App

It is a struggle with them to get information. I am a planner and I was told I am getting ahead of myself. Hard to make informed decisions that way. I have no date at this time but hopefully they will let me know someday as I'm considering changing providers to have this done. Sent from my SM-G920T using the BariatricPal App

I am down to the final appt. For the surgery. Is any having their surgery at Denver Health? As time gets closer I am becoming more nervous. I think I'm in need of a help buddy. Sent from my SM-G920T using the BariatricPal App
