I'm tentatively scheduled for March 19th BUT I'm awaiting approval. I sure pray and hope I'm with all of you. :-) I'm a teacher and really want this before Spring Break, so I have time to recover or I'll have to wait until Summer...

It's been 5 days since I sent paperwork to insurance for approval. I'm soooo nervous I won't be approved. I'm hoping to be a march sleever :/

I'm shooting for mid March myself. I'm 5'3 and 228 lbs the charts say my goal should be 115 I'm sure whom ever came up with that chart was a crack smoker, Just Sayin! LOL I have no desire to be 115, I do however see myself at a healthy 150lb, oddly enough I seem to be scared of actually losing the weight, I mean how weird is that, am I so attach to these roles and this BA dunka a dunk, that I will mourn it? Good Grief! I am thinking of maybe holding a bad a** wake for the stomach their removing and the fat that will start to go away, and maybe a new birthday party for the healthier me :)

Comment on who I shared with, I decided to send an email to my circle, with links to be able to help them understand what I am doing, sadly enough my best friend is not on board at all, which makes my heart ache since I feel like I want to share my journey, Oh! well she feels what she feels I suppose. My biggest support is my daughter, who a year ago was sleeved, when she told me I was one of the mis-informed judgmental people she ran up against. Her whole life has changed in so many areas, not just how she feels physically. And OMG she looks fabulous. http://www.facebook.com/groups/216807098391019/?fref=ts here is her Facebook link she made for her VSG journey if you would like to take a look. Ok enough rambling, We have each other here, I'v cried & laughed and been scared S***less since being on this site, I also have found strength and compassion. So my sistas and brothers, Ready, Set, Go!!!! WEEEEE!!!! (I say that a lot because I like it LOL )

      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.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
