Wow that is pretty fast. I had my nutrition appt first. It was kind of a waste of time. All they did was tell me what I already know. Eat more lean Protein, fruits, and veggies. They did go over portion size and what it will be post surgery.

My wellness visit was also quick. It was done at the hospital and they just test your endurance and how your body responds to physical activity.

My psych eval took FOREVER. I had to go to the office 3 times. The first was just to talk with the guy about the surgery (basically it was like therapy). Then, the next visit I had to complete a questionaire on the computer. It took about 20-30 minutes. Then I had to come back a 3rd time to read the results and go over his findings.

After everything is done and you have submitted it to the surgeon's office, they will send it to your insurance for approval. This can take from 2-4 weeks. Some are fast, some are slow. Once you get this, if approved, they will schedule your surgery date (depending on the surgeon, you may have some sort of pre-op diet). If denied, they will go back and redo your paperwork and try again. It all depends on the insurance after your part is done.

Good luck!!

      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!!

      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! 😞
