Yahooooo!!! I am so excited that I got the call from the Doctors office on Monday. I am approved to get the LAPBAND surgery from now until june 3. Yay.:lol: I now have to make an appointment for my results visit so that I can schedule my surgery. I believe thats all I have to do next. I am so thankful that my prayers were answered. I am hopeful that I can get my surgery sometime in April because I just want to get it over with. I am nervous and trembling but I know that this is gonna be a step toward a better me. I have learned so much over the last couple months and I am ready to turn my life around by learning to eat well and exercise. I need to lose a lot of weight and the lap band is gonna help me out. I have insulin resistance and PCOS so it has been extremely hard to get the weight off. Actually I have gained over 50 pounds over the last two years so I am at my wits end with this weight. I am 27 years old but my body feels like I am elderly, everything hurts! I want to wear my Heels again!! But any way, I am so ready to lose weight and see how I really look underneath.

FeFe :P

CONGRATS!!!!

I just heard back on my appeal with insurance on Feb 28th and got approved, and was as excited as when I found out I was pregnant with my 3 kids! (that's super excited!!) I also have PCOS and so many aches & pains. I'm an old lady though at almost 36. :P

My surg is March 15. I'm so excited, but mostly to be done with this preop diet and get on with a new life...although I feel like today is the start being day one of preop diet ...

CONGRATSCONGRATSCONGRATS!!

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

        So proud of you Cat. Getting into those smaller size clothes is half the fun isn't it?. Keep up the good work!!!!

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

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
