They drag their feet. I had to do a 6 months supervised diet which took forever and now I need to meet with a nutrionist, a nurse, and a mental health person. Then I can submit all my stuff to the insurance. I am just waiting for the hospital to call me to schedule my appt so see the people.

just off the phone from my own dr, there is a staff shortage in the hospital there is a 6 to 12mts wait for some of the test, she said that even to call me into our local hospital for some of those test still could take 6 to 12mts, but the dietican is to ring me during the week about starting me on the milk diet so i still am no close than yesterday

Wow 6 to 12 months, that is just ridiculous. I am still in the same spot too I haven't called the hospital yet. I am trying to give them a chance. I will call them by the time I leave work.

I feel like a stalker calling each day and it's a shame we have to harrass these people. When I go on my break I am going to call them.

That's true, just called the hospital they have appts as early as next week but they still need to put all my information in the system. Maybe if I keep calling they will do the work.

      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! 😞
