That's what I keep telling myself. My husband keeps telling me that even if the scale isn't seeing changes, he can clearly see (and feel) my body changing. So I am trying to be strong!

Not quite 2 months out. Down 35lbs the first month. Been at the same weight for almost all of the following 3 weeks now. So frustrating. I hope this changes soon. It's very discouraging when I'm following my instructions to a T. I see my surgeon and nutritionist on the 9th. Hopefully the scale will move or they will have some advice for me!

My bill before insurance was $146,000. For a traditional DS, hiatal hernia repair, gall bladder removal and appendectomy. The insurance paid like $58,000. My out of pocket was $1500.

Almost 3 weeks post op from my DS here. Feel great except for the reflux or heartburn I get whenever I eat or drink anything.

I'm doing good! Sore from the gas. But manageable. 4.5 hour surgery. Took my first walk about 30 minutes ago. No nausea, just exhaustion. Sipping Water and trying to get some Jello down. I hate jello. How are all my twinsises feeling?

I was only required 2 days of liquids pre-op. I'm doing 3 because I can't properly read a calendar apparently! I have been straight up HANGRY. But so excited for tomorrow!!! 3-4ish hours of surgery and hopefully only 1-2 days in the hospital. Best of luck for all of us! We've got this!

I'm June 4th if I don't have to reschedule due to my cold

I do! U of M all the way! My date is coming up soon, but a little worried that I will end up having to reschedule since I came down with a cold. Fingers crossed we don't have to reschedule!

Has anybody gotten sick right before their surgery and NOT had to reschedule? I have to call my surgeon's office in the morning, but curious if this has happened to anyone else.

You look like a super nice lady, definitely not a Turkey from Albuquerque. Oh shoot, I don't have a Turkey Emoji, would you accept a cute baby chicken?

Lol well of course! But I'm originally from Michigan, so I'd never be a turkey! Maybe a wolverine! But they don't have one of those either. Lol. So I'll put an elephant. Just because I like them. Lol

I'm giving him the benefit of the doubt because it was at lunch time and it's entirely possible he just forgot. Or thought one of his office people did it. I should have called to check sooner, so that's on me as well.

So I've been waiting around 3 weeks to find out if I'm approved for my surgery. I called my surgeon's office today to see if they had heard anything, and they were still waiting for the psych eval to submit to insurance. The psych eval that I did over 3 weeks ago. That he said he would fax over that same day. Good thing I wasn't in a rush!

I can't use the android mobile app either. Just immediately shuts down.

Has anyone in here used Dr. Syn at Advanced Bariatric Surgery Center? I really like him, but was just curious if anyone else has used him. I'm currently waiting on insurance approval for my DS.

I had my EGD today. The doctor found that I have a hiatal hernia, GERD, gastritis and esophogitis. So he's going to fix my hernia during surgery. My insurance only requires an EGD and a psych evaluation. I did that yesterday, and saw my surgeon and nutritionist today after my EGD. And got the go ahead to send to insurance for approval! I should know in 2 weeks!!
