Anyone from Vermont....?



Recommended Posts

Hello, I am going through the process in Vermont and wondering if anyone else is?

It is a 6th month process so the office won't even be able to send it into the insuranc company until September, it seems so long?

I am from South Burlington Vermont. I was sleeved December 16th so it has been almost 5 months. I started at 309 last March and am at 200 today. I would love to be at around 140 when finished. I have been in a stale for around 3 weeks but I hear that happens. I started at a size 22-24 and am now a 14-16.

Great success! Your stall will end! Who was your doctor? I'm assuming you went to FAHC.

I'm also from Vermont. Can't afford the $47,000 dollars so I'm going to Mexico with Dr Rams Kelly. Have my upper GI endoscopy and baring test on 6/25 at FAHC and results on 6/27.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
