Scheduled April 30th. I'm self pay since I don't meet co-morbidity requirements for my insurance. I tried to get it covered but I was borderline. Now that I decided to self pay I'm being fast tracked and everything is happening so fast. I'm ready, bring it on!

So now I'm even more stressed. My surgeons office called to say I needed medical clearance before my surgery on WEDNESDAY!. I told them they never said I needed that. I've done all my pre open tests and everything so why would I forget to do one other important thing to be ready for surgery. So I have an appt on Tuesday at 3 the day before my surgery to get medical clearance. There isn't any reason I shouldn't be cleared, but still I'm stressed that the surgeon gets the clearance and I will have the surgery on April 10th.

This week, I did final labs, chest X-ray, EKG, pre-op with surgeon, follow up with NUT, and pre-op medications interview. Only thing left is to do a pregnancy test one week prior. Getting ready for pre-op diet on Tuesday. Whew!

Hi, I had that same request a few days before I was sleeved. Don't worry, it's just another hoop the insurance requires. Good luck with your surgery! ;D

I work in a surgery center and that kind of stuff happens. Have you had bloodwork? If so, get a copy and bring it. The doc will look at the labs and you can ask him to write the clearance right there and ask to get a copy so you can bring it the day of surgery. His office will fax it, but ask for a copy anyway. If you haven't had bloodwork, you might need to get it done the day of surgery and get the ok from the anesthesiologist.

      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
