Judy praying all goes well. One way to look at it, that doctor is going to be extra careful since he's in the headlines right now! Praying for your wisdom as you speak with him! Good luck!

Some of you may remember my insurance put my approval on hold pending some further information from the doctor. I did the liquid diet for the last three days so when I did my "final" weigh in this aftenoon I would hopefully be down. Yay I was down 5 pounds from my original weigh in...not the greatest but at least I was down and hadn't gained since I'd been on the "last supper" plan for a while now! So everything will get sent in again tomorrow...say a prayer for me please!?

Speedy recovery to all the ones healing right now and to those getting ready to go in soon!!

That's one of the greatest thing about this forum "support" I have gained so much insight into pre-op post-op diets and the procedure itself. My surgery is this coming Friday and I feel well prepared because of the enormous information and support from here.

so do I. i hate to think how i would have been without this forum. i really do.

Great job Ladybug! I hope you get that approval soon. When does your surgeon think the surgery will happen?

They had already scheduled me for the 22nd of this month so hopefully they'll get the approval in soon. I'm going to continue with the liquid diet assuming that it will and I'm prepared. I'm an hour and a half away from where I have to go, my daughter who is an RN will be going with me so I'll be in good hands before and after my stay in the hospital. My doctor is also a "center of excellence" and I know several who have gone to him.

Good luck!

Ladybug- it's fortunate they will move ahead before the approval. I'm glad your RN daughter will go with you. What a comfort!

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      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!!
