Feeling so much better! 2 months post op and down 40lbs total.

Anyone doing anything fun for Pride? I am sad I missed the march at DC pride, but I just wasn't up to it yet. We have a pride weekend in Philly this weekend and I am planning on going out. It will be weird though not drinking......

Hey guys, I am doing well. 3 weeks post op tomorrow and I am down almost 35lbs and I am at 231lbs now. Still trying to figure out how to eat properly, but so far I am very happy with the results. The first 2 weeks were really rough and I hope to NEVER have to go through that again. lol. 1 month until I go to Rehoboth Beach, DE with my friends for 4th of July week. I gotta put in a lot of work before then! Maybe i'll post some pics from the beach if my speedo looks good. hahaha

Thanks, I get sleeved tomorrow! I am excited and freaked out at the same time. Mostly because I have had a cold the last few days and it seems to have gone into my chest now. Hoping they still go through with it. Also, I did take some before pics. I can't wait until the after! I've already lost 15lbs from the 10 day liquid diet.

Well, all of my efforts paid off and I am finally getting sleeved next week. Wish me luck ;o)

Thanks!!!

Thanks guy. I did a lot of research on here today, and I think i am going to hire Lindstrom Obesity Advocacy to handle my case. I am sick and tired of dealing with my insurance company. Time to bring out the BIG GUNS!!! hahah

Ugh, Aetna denied me again. This is my 4th denial..... They want me to do the whole 90 day supervised thing diet over again. I feel like I need to hit something. LOL

Update: they called me and got it straightened out. However, My appeal was denied. ☹️

I am so frustrated with Barix clinic in Langhorne right now. I feel like they don't care about me as a patient at all! They faxed my insurance information to a wrong number at my insurance company, never called to follow up about a peer to peer review, now they've missed the window for the review, and have to appeal... Oh AND they have not called me or my insurance company AT ALL to check in. If this is the kind of care I receive BEFORE I am even a patient.... I think I am going to go somewhere else! It sucks that I have to start all over again, but this is ridiculous!

How are you feeling/doing since your surgery?

Thanks Yazoo!

Thanks Pmmjr!

Thanks Tanisha! What was your pre-op liquid diet like and how long was it?

What did he require you to do for the pre-op liquid diet?
