Good news finally! My angst about this process have (hopefully) come to an end...

I got the news I was approved today! **happy dance****happy dance****happy dance** :lol:

Sorry I've had a little negativity before - just dealing with so much medical nonsense for the past few years; medical red tape is sooo frustrating to get through.

Anyway I'm stoked! Nervous and anxious now too. Awaiting calls/letters for the date and other pre-op stuff now. Maybe this will be a nice Xmas present for me! :D

Hello Buffalo people! Is anyone here still active?

Still here, did you get a surgery date yet?? Last time we heard from you it sounded like your insurance finally approved it?

Oh yes! I guess I forgot to add that, woops ;)

I am going in 12/17, I start the LRD tomorrow... Armed with all the shakes, other Protein mixes, and sugar-free Jellos I could conjure up. I've done a couple days of it already this week and oh boy it's not going to be easy.

Two things I tried and really like are the Syntrax Nectars and Muscle Milk (Cytosport) whey isolate Fruit Drinks (the Cytosport is comparable to Isopure Zero Carb, but tastes WAY better and a little cheaper). These will help break up the thick milky shakes routine I hope. Game on... Wish me luck!

Hey Queen City!

Just saw your post for your approval!! Great news! Hope your pre-op diet is going well! Good luck with your surgery!! My best advice is to take care of yourself and follow the guidelines you've learned as best you can after surgery. Be prepared for some discomfort after surgery but understand most of the hardship will be a distant memory in a few short months! Also I felt the nurses were great at sisters they took great care of me! Don't be afraid to tell them what you need! Also the patch for nausea worked wonders for me! I highly recommend you tell the anesthesiologist that pain Meds make you nauseous! And don't take the patch off! You can keep in on for 3-5 days!

Good luck!

~Mary

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      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...
