Welcome! I am not in your area,but we are at the same place in the process!

I am 3 months into my 6 month medically supervised weight loss. Next week I am completing my psychological evaluations, PT, NP and nutrition appointments.

How is your process going so far?

Sincerely,

Sannah

I am 3 months into the process, as well. I am 37. I am looking to have surgery in Jan. So far, I have completed all my pre-op tests just need the 6 months completed. I, too, was nervous about upper GI but it wasn't Bad.

I have done everything possible but my psychologist didn't answer my weight loss clinic call.. That was a month and a half ago..they told me when I went. They have me coming once a month until im sleeved.. Hopeful we get a call back soon..

Then they will send my letter to insurance company..then I will meet my surgeon..guess what then I will get a date..7 months in now!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      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! 😞
