Anybody know what the average upfront surgeon fee is? I wasn't aware that it wasn't included in insurance?

Best of luck to all of you about to have surgery. I am only 6 weeks out and couldn't be happier with my progress thus far. I have lost a total of 31 lbs (inc pre-op liquid diet) and I feel great. The liquid diet is HARD but important - it gives you a great jump start on the weight loss and definitely helps shrink your liver to make it easier for the surgeon to operate on you.

Remember to just rest and take good care of yourself after the surgery.

Set yourself up to succeed by organizing everything in advance and making sure you have what you need both at the hospital and once you get home.

Best wishes!!

I'm having to pay 350$ out of my pocket to the surgeons office but I don't know if that's average or not

      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! 😞
