I have one more month before my stuff is submitted, so I'm looking at prob another 2 1/2 months before I actually HAVE surgery. Meh.....

I have to do a 3 month diet and thought they would accept weight watchers but no because it was not supervised. That was in oct. I completed that yesterday and they should be resubmitting this week. I was also denied because didn't have all info n letter required from my PCP got that also. So question is does anyone know how long it takes when it gets sent back? Is it a new submittal or a appeal or what? The coordinator had left for the day yesterday so I have to wait until Monday to find out. So much want approval this week do I can hopefully have surgery in February! Worried my insurance may change 1 march. Currently have GWH Cigna!

Hey beautyandbeyond, I called my insurance today and they said they didn't see any paperwork on my file regarding the surgery . I didn't call the surgical coordinator because I was going to curse out. It already been two weeks n she has not submitted the paperwork . Tomorrow I will give her a call . How about you ?

      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.

      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! 😞
