I had to my doctor and like I said we talked about my weight and things I was doing to help lose weight but she

said I am best going to Dr for surgery and follow their program I could scream because I think I would get approved at

least a month earlier but oh well.

ZebraSprinkles, Congrats on getting your date! After I get my insurance approval, I won't get to see the surgeon for maybe a month and then the date will be about another month!!! For me it's all too slow!

September 10 is just around the corner! Going to the losers bench. YAY!!

Yay funsize! You'll be joining me soon! If I can make it.. lol damn anxiety!

I am only about an hour from Toledo in nw Ohio. My mom and brother live in Toledo! Well I'm in the beginning stages, but pretty excited that I got my pcps approval today! One more thing checked off the list, now onto the psych eval! Once that is done how much longer should it take to start classes?

Jessielynn, I think easch insurance is different. I had to do 6 months of nutricional counseling. They count your first visit as one month (go figure) so it's really only 5 months. My last class is 9/17. Then they will submit it to insurance. That should take two weeks. I'm getting excited.

Where are you? Where will you have your sleeve done?

Jessielynn. I am getting it done at Toledo Hospital, I bet I don't get it done until sometime in November. I wish it was sooner. In the mean time I am trying really hard to lose whatever I can before hand, Not easy!

Hey Stephanie!

OH MY GOSH I'm not doing to hot on the pre-op diet.. lol ( but it really could be because I'm type 2 and not used to such a drastic change in diet) But I'm nauseous all the time and tired. lol I'm only on day 3 though so I'm sure I'm just adjusting to the food! but I'm staying positive and hanging in there! awww one year old twins!! ( I'm jelly! lol another reason I want surgery to be able to have kids! :) ) But once you get to the pre op diet... some of that food is soooo nasty! but they are super nice and let you trade food back in.. I just got a lot of the drinks.. but keep me updated chica!

I am also a patient of Dr. Curry's and live in burbs north of Cincy. I has my 3hr meeting with him and his team on 8/8 and got my approval letter on 8/25. My scope is 9/5 and hopefully surgery date very soon. Very anxious and excited at the same time.

      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! 😞
