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.

      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! 😞
