My paperwork was submitted to the insurance company on a Thursday and approved the following Tuesday.

Hope mine is that fast!

We should have a group...Plication Pioneers? I know that plication is really starting to catch on and it would be nice if those considering it would be able to find out information in an easy way. I know that I was desperately looking on here for any info on it.

I think this is a terrific idea! Also in regards to your question about how soon after approval I got the surgery date: my doctor only operates Mondays and Tuesdays' date=' he literally got me in the following Tuesday :). By the way today was day six and I feel great!

Hi Touria and Bromo- how was the nausea for the first few days after surgery. I've heard it's bad. Nervous about that.

Awesome! I keep hearing about people that have to do liquids for 2 weeks! I was getting worried. Whew! How long did it take you to get a surgery date after your insurance approved you?

I did mine for two weeks! I'm on day 12. It's easier! Day 1-3 were the hardest! Lost 12 pounds not bad! In two days I will be plicated!!!

      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... :(
