Good good good for you! How exciting! Question, how much weight did you loose in the pre op diet? I am going in for my 5th month weight in this coming Monday and I don't think I have lost enough weight to satify the insurance company. I have BCBS

I have not started my diet as of today, but I have lost about 13 pounds on my own.

That's great....My surgeons office submitted my paperwork on October 12 and today the insurance specialist at the surgeons office called me and told me the the Medical Director approved it and my insurance will pay 90%! I'm so excited. I go to meet with the surgeon on Wed, October 27th. to do paperwork and set a date.:)

That is awesome. Congrats!

I signed my consent forms and all appointments are done for me so I am hoping that insurance approves everything and I get a date during Thanksgiving week, due to time off work and vacation time. If not, my Plan B is during Christmas week.

Are you more excited than scared? It is a new journey and I am so ready, too.

Wish you the best.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
