Good luck ! I hope you get a date today !!! I had neighborhood n they switch into health first just now so I finished my exams but then the dr Yatco has to be re enrolled and that takes forever so surgeon coordinator told me to switch to hip ASAP they don't give any hassle and ill get my date in June . So counting down to June 1st when my insurance is active with hip and they call in June 3. I can't wait!!!!

Yea they told me hip has no requirements or additional testings

I think it really depends on tbe hospital cause in jacobi hip has a 6 month diet ..lol even if I switch insurance n was in mount Sinai still required 6 months diet but jacobi doesnt

Yes is very few doctors that do that lol I think she felt even more like a mom to tell me that because we were both from the same country well my family is Dominican I was both here but I think that's why. So in a way thank god she said all that To me because she put that idea in my head and I did my research and here I am now lol . I only knew about gastric bypass and I didn't want to do that since I seem friends of mine gain back the weight after five yrs but to know the sleeve is different and lowers the chance of that happening is great but of course eating right and exercise will do the trick :)

      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

      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! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
