After over a year of being on a wait list for surgery. The office I was getting it done at list all their funding, and now I am back to square one! I am so mad! I cannot afford to go to Mexico and now I am stuck. So very very mad!

Sorry to hear that, but can't you just move all of your paperwork to a new surgeon and not have to start over?

I am very sad to hear they lost their funding. Are there any other options for you?

Unfortunately there is no other option. I only had my referral set and was waiting for a call for my first consult. I have been waiting for a year for that. I was due for my call any time now. Now it was all moot. I am going to have to wait maybe 5 years to save money for Mexico. I am in school now and have to pay out if pocket for it. It just plain sucks.

I don't know what state you're in but what about medi-cal or Medicaid? Will they cover the surgery?

      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! 😞
