Do you ever come to the support group at BGH? I find them very motivating when I go. It's nice to talk to people who are going through the same thing as you. The NP and RN that run the group are great and very supportive. They are the 3rd Wednesday of the month at 5 or 5:30 (I'm not sure which).

Good news!! I finally got my date to be sleeved! I'll be sleeved on April 14th!! Had my pre-op this morning at ECMC (that's one hell of a maze of a place). I'll have my pre-op class at Synergy next Wed & start my pre-op diet next Friday. SO excited - yet getting kind of nervous!

good luck with everything the pre op class was very informative I had the gastric sleeve done October 3rd 2013 and dr Caveratta did mine at sisters and the first few days are the toughest with the ore op diet but after that it's easy

I have IHA and was going to try as well to get the shakes covered. I tried to look on IHA website, really didn't find anything except for weight loss prescriptions were not covered. It would be great to find out!

I didnt realize that they were only once a month. That stinks!!

i will definately have to make next months. You are getting closer and closer. Have you thought about what Protein Shakes you are going to use? Kathryn told me they recommend the Bariatric Fusion ones. I have read that alot of poeple like and use the Premier. I have my appt tomorrow morning with Dr. Caravetta. I am really looking forward to it.

I personal did not like the taste of fusion drinks. I drink designer whey brands and champion whey and cost is not bad at all

      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...
