New here 1st appointment was today



Recommended Posts

HI all!! I had an appointment today with my regular doctor and got my referal for lap band. I go for my information seminar on the 24th. The receptionist that scheduled me said my insurance requires 9 months of dr supervised diet to get approval. I have sleep apnea and my BMI is over 40 so my doctor feels there will be no problem getting approval! I'm anxious to see what the next year holds and to get to "know" everyone here!

Do you have any idea yet how long you have to see the dr and all that to get approved?

      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! 😞
