I just got my surgery date.... June 20. I am so excited!! I am not scared at all, but my excitement is bursting right out of me. My weight loss has been stagnet the last 3 weeks from being sick and nervous about getting insurance auth and surgery date.

I think feeling better and getting over this huddle has lifted a big weight off my shoulders.

So happy for all of you who are scheduled for June! My insurance just denied me even though I met the requirements. Aparently BCBS is having confusion with their policy and my authorization got stuck in the middle of it. My clinic is appealing it now. I am so bummed! I really hope this doesn't take a long time. Otherwise everything else is done, I am just still working on my pre op weight loss. Good luck everyone!!

Hi everyone,

I had my endoscopy and figured while I was there I might as well do the colonoscopy that my PCP has been after me to get done. All went well, so another hoop jumped through! Got a little nervous just doing Clear Liquids for 1 day. Yikes!

      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?
