I'm using dr lisa too, I love her! I'm scheduled for 1.8.13 after a set back. My surgery was supposed to be next week. I'm so sad.

There is a reason and propose for everything. You just have to look at the positives. I don't know if you prescribe to any particular faith, but maybe thinhs are being worked out to be of the greatest benefit to you!

Absolutely! Great -and so very true - words of encouragement, Liz . Keep your chin up Alicia. Great and wonderful things are being planned for you. Don't believe me? Find a Bible and read Jeremiah 29:11. Then read Romans 8:28. Then, dear one, take a deep breath, smile and know you are loved and cared for every minute of every day - and have been since long before you we're ever born!

I'm in Dayton Ohio. Jan 7th unless there is a cancellation. The count down app is a good idea! 27 years, married, 4 kids. Looking for a buddy myself if anyone close to Dayton. I started the process Dec 15 ,2011. So a 13 month process. Had a 9 month physician diet. A few denials but finally approved and scheduled! Ill b on a 14 day diet. So no Xmas dinner or drinking on new years Eve.

Yep....January it is. I just received insurance approval yesterday and my surgeons office said they will call me soon with a date but that the surgeon is booked until Jan. I look forward to talking with the rest of you Jan. folks to compare notes and give support.

Hello! Im 32, 4'11, and 248 pounds. I'm from the Dallas area and January will be the final appointment for the 6 month physician supervised diet. My guess is that my surgery will be some time in February. Dr. Kuhn's at Baylor Medical is my surgeon. I'm nervous, but extremely excited! I hope that time passes quickly so that I can get this over with. Any advice that I should take with my eating habits right now or Vitamins that I should start taking to prepare myself? Good luck to all!

I'm scheduled for January 10. I was scheduled for Dec 6, but work asked me to wait until after the Holidays. I was really upset at first but now realize it is for a reason. I am so excited! 9 years being 100+ pounds overweight and I'm ready to shed it off!

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!
