Hi everyone! ive been reading other posts and im getting more and more excited to get banded and have as much success as you guys! Only thing driving me CRAZY is this damn 6month "i can change program"" for my insurance. i wish i looked into this before i decided surgery because i would have been banded by now! its just very frustrating. but on the up side im learning how to eat slower and smaller portions AND eating Breakfast wich i never did before.. has anyone heard or gone through this program before? its only been about 2 months and its draaaaaaaaging

My insurance had the same requirement but I was able to bypass it. Luckily, I've had the same PCP for 20 years and he had already seen my numerous attempts.

I know what you mean! I thought my 6 mos would never be over. I just finished last month and am now waiting for ins. approval. To be honest...once I got going with my preop stuff (clearances, gathering paperwork, started working out)....the time flew by. Before I knew it....I was at my 6 mo appointment and freaked out that I was now ready for surgery. Hang in there! It will be worth it.

IM if you need motivation :rolleyes:

      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! 😞
