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!

      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.

        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?

      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... :(
