Today was my psych evaluation and I passed! I'm SO happy! Final insurance required weigh-in will be this Saturday, contacting my surgeon on Tuesday and making that appointment to see him one last time before they submit my case to my insurance company. I'm thinking 2-3 weeks from now my insurance wil be notified. I'm so excited and so nervous. I didn't think I would finally get this close!!! :D

I'm in a little in shock right now. Would it be silly to start prepping now? Or do people wait until things are submitted to their insurance company?

Valkyrea, I finished my six month diet on August 5, the next week paperwork was submitted to insurance company and I heard back by Friday of the same week that I was approved. I scheduled for Oct because of my job, then rescheduled for Sept 24. I am so excited. Good luck to you.

We are in the same boat! Did my psych eval Monday. Do my final weigh-in on Tuesday. I will have met all my surgical requirements. I am also starting my two week pre-op diet on the 3rd so I can have surgery as soon as everything is approved.

That's great!!! Congratulations! This month will fly by for you. Have you started to prep for surgery and the pot-op diet yet?

I'm hoping I can get the surgery mid-end of September, I'll be off for a few days from work and it would be the BEST time to take off.

Awesome! Did your doctor suggest you start your pre-op diet on the 3rd? How long as you supposed to be on it?

They did suggest I start it after my final appointment only because I am on a time crunch to get it done. Most of the time they don't recommend starting it until you have been approved for surgery and they set your surgical date around that.

      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! 😞
