I'm scheduled for September 4th. I feel like it's coming up really fast. I went to the information session for my surgeon's practice on June 21st (I had to look it up today) and they said with luck it might get squeezed in before the end of the year. And here I am, just three weeks from the day.

There's a squirrel in the back of my head, yelling "hold on - slow down!" I won't, of course, but the thought is there.

I'm not sure who you're asking littleperson?... so I'll just jum in lol!

I'm not having an EGD. Or at least I haven't been scheduled for one. Is an EGD standard? I had an endoscopy a couple of months ago, just before I buckled down and got serious about VSG. My surgeon got a copy of that report and pictures from that fun event.

How long have you all been workin on this? Getting through the approval process, I mean?

EGD - is endoscopy. and I think most of the doctors are required it.

:) I have my schedule date September 21 but I really want it to move up a bit but I really doubt. I was told that my Surgeon is booked up for the whole month.

      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
