I actually didn't have it yet, scheduled for may 21st. and unfortunately my insurance doesn't cover it do to a exclusion by the company I work for, so self-pay. I started this process April 3rd, so everything has moved very quickly for me. What about you? Do you have a date yet?

No. I actual have Medicaid working through approval process. Last step is to be cleared by my primary who hasn't cleared me yet because my hemoglobin is 10.4. How does self pay work? Do they have plans?

Oh ok, well hope your level gets up to 12 soon! They have names of companies and banks that will work with you to provide loans. Really wish that my insurance would cover it though!

Got mine done on 4/1 with Dr de la Cruz- Munoz at Univ of Miami as well. Hope you all get quick replies regarding approval. I was self pay so the entire process only took like 3 weeks.

      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
