I got my date (FINALLY!)



Recommended Posts

I just got the call from the surgeon's scheduler and I'm going to be sleeved on August 24! The funny thing is, its my 1/2 birthday, so my 6 month surger-versary will fall exactly on my 35th birthday! I don't know why, but this amuses me :)

I finished my 3 month Sup. weight loss on May 24, got my approval on June 23 (Aetna only took 2 days, the rest of the delay was my screwed up surgeon's office), got scheduled for surgery July 20 (yep, another major delay by my screwed up surgeon's office - who has to wait a month to even get a freaking date!?!) and then surgery a month later, on August 24.

I can't wait!!!

Congratulations! I remember how excited I was to get my date, and the nerves that built up all the way until surgery day! I just had mine last Thursday, and am still excited! Now, it's to see the results that are to come! Good luck!!!

Congratulations, GF! Looks like things are getting done in the BG offices! I have heard from Cara a couple of times by phone and email. Medicare, as expected, declined the VSG. She has now submitted it to my secondary insurance, Aetna. I do not expect a positive response so I will probably be faced with taking the band or waiting until Medicare approves the sleeve.

I can't wait to hear everything about your journey!

      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!!

        So proud of you Cat. Getting into those smaller size clothes is half the fun isn't it?. Keep up the good work!!!!

      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?

      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! 😞

        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... :(
