Hey everyone,

My name is Dan, and I am new to this forum. I am 37 years old and have struggled with my weight for many years like many of you. I have already gone through the 6 mandatory months, of therapy and submitted my request to the insurance company "Auxiant" and was approved immediately to my surprise. I meet with my surgeon on the 11th of July and my surgery date is July 26th 2011.

Welcome Dan, so great that you are getting to move along quickly. I guess 6 months of therapy didn' t seem like it was quickly for you. This is a great forum and everyone is friendly and eager to be encouraging. YOur surgery is the day before mine. I will keep tabs on your progress. You will have to check out the forum for July sleevers. Good Luck.

Welcome! Your surgery is also the day before mine. I am so ready to start continue this journey. Let's keep in touch for support during the few weeks post-op that can be challenging from what I've read.

Best of luck and aloha,

Lulu

Thanks everyone,

And as I figure out how to navigate better through the forum, I will be more involved. I am very excited about my upcoming surgery, and would enjoy sharing the excitement and any new fears that may pop up in the next couple of weeks.

I hope everyone had a fun and safe 4th. I will write again soon

Daniel

      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!!
