So, today I had my consultation appointment with Dr. Nick. When I left his office, I literally jumped up and down and danced a jig of glee in the hall. My husband was so excited for me that he nearly joined in. Turns out the 6 month supervised diet I thought I have to have is NOT REQUIRED, and instead all I have to do is have a psych evaluation, schedule an appointment with a nutritionist, and get my pcp to send a letter recommending the surgery. I AM SO EXCITED, Y'ALL!

You have no idea how long I've wanted this. I've gone through this weight loss surgery process before, only to lose my insurance and have all my hopes shattered. While I don't want to count my chickens before they hatch, I can't help but get excited! The rest is up to me. On Monday I'm calling and scheduling the psych and nut appts, and calling my pcp to see about getting into see him so he can recommend me for WLS. As soon as that is done, we submit to the insurance company for approval, wait a response, and then schedule my surgery date.

Oh, and I don't have to have another sleep study! Whew!

So scared and so excited! Please keep me in your prayers through this. My anxiety is kicking in about all the what-ifs and trying to get me ahead of where I am. EEEEEE! :D

      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?
