I will be at Presbyterian Main too. I will have a date today. My insurance has already approved it. Dr. Lowe will be doing my surgery. I hope we get a chance to meet!.

I am in Charlotte and Dr. Vollenger is doing my sleeve as well. I will be done with everything in September. Glad to see some Charlottieans on here. Let's keep each other in prayer!

Oh my gosh, that would be so cool if you did. Are you planning to go to support group? I hope we get to meet and walk along this journey supporting each other. Keep me posted

Upper GI and H.Pylori good and negative. Waiting on insurance now. Won't be an August 15th date for me...but I didn't think so anyway. Hopeful for mid-September :)

I think I saw you in the waiting room at one of my appointments :) Our dates will probably be close together :)

Well folks, I was an August 13th sleever. However, I've been in the hospital all week after finding out I have a large blood clot in my leg and some in my lungs as well. I won't be having my surgery after all. :/ I will need to be on blood thinners and have my blood counts routinely checked for at least the next six months. But I'm not giving up. I've lost 18.5 pounds so far and I will not let this bring me down. I believe it was God's way of telling me this wasn't the right path for me to take. This came out of nowhere and I am otherwise healthy so I am so thankful it was caught when it was, before very very bad things came of it. I wish all of you the very best, and hope to still keep in touch with y'all.

loveizme...you are in great hands! I love Dr. V! I have worked with him professionally and almost went to work for him ( I'm actually an RD), but the job went to one of my closest friends and I was happy for her. If my insurance paid for it, I would have gone to him, but I love my surgeon and get to work with him as well and am just thankful that I have a surgeon that I trust. Good luck to you!

Oh man!! I'm so sorry to hear this! I had a blood clot in my leg when I was pregnant with my son a little over 4 years ago. They still let me have the surgery so maybe down the road if this is still an option you will be able to do it? I am glad they caught it and you are doing okay! Is it a blood disorder or caused by weight? Mine was pregnancy and weight related...

So sorry to hear that but so glad they caught it! Blood clots is something I'm extremely nervous about. (currently awaiting insurance approval). Do they do some sort of test to specifically look for clots prior to surgery? How were yours discovered?

      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
