June 14. Really anxious' date=' having trouble sleeping. Just still in the dark about a lot. No mention of a pre-op diet. Im doing self-pay since my insurance doesn't cover it, but now I'm wondering if I should ask my doctor to talk to them. Wondering if this will actually work or if I'm putting myself into debt for no reason. Ugghhhh! Trying to stay confident about my decision, but I'm worried about everything right now![/quote']

I agree with Chichi. This process can be quite overwhelming, so I would put in a call to the surgeon asap! Although I am still pre-op, I sincerely think that this tool can work for us. We just have to be diligent about "making a lifestyle change".

On another note, you should ask your pcp to write a letter to your insurance company. The worst thing that they can say is no. However, if they say yes, you can use that money for something else...just a thought! Good luck!

June 4th seems so soon! They told me to expect a mid June early July date but insurance came back with an approval in 3 days instead of weeks like we anticipated! I feel like everything has just fallen into place so it must be meant to be but I'm still nervous as all get out! I wish you all the best of luck! Let's keep each other updated on our progress! I have friends that support me but none are overweight so they really don't fully understand. I love this forum!!

      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?

      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
