Do you have a date yet?

I'm hoping to talk about surgery dates tomorrow. Keeping my fingers crossed to have it before the end of the year.

The psych eval was the easy part for me. You'll do just fine. Good luck!

Looks like my date is 12/11! I have to say that choosing BCBS Federal was the best decision I made! They have been fantastic!

Ok another snag. I have gained weight over the past year. At some time in 2012 I went to my PCP and I weighed 226. My surgical doc appt I weighed 265. Two days later I went to My PCP because I was having headaches. I weighed 257. Come to find out my BP was up and he put me on medication and the headaches have subsided. My next NUT appt I weighed 249 and yesterday at my last NUT appointment I weighed 243. My problem is when I seen my PCP for the headaches they didn't record my weight in the chart. It says I weighed 226. When we submit to insurance I'm sure they will wonder how I lost 40 lbs in two days and then gained nearly 30 back in a week. We have to use that record when we submit because it's the only one with my height listed and my high BP. I don't really know what to do. I am going to try to go to my PCP tomorrow and have them correct the record before we submit.

I would definitely go back to your PCP for the correct information. But the surgical doctor's weight should be the one that counts for 2012. Good luck!

      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! 😞
