scheduled for my physc eval on the 1st. I will have my surgery at St. Luke's Hospital in Phoenix. I don't have a date yet but hopefully it will be soon. I have BCBS of ILL so I'm not sure how long they take to approve after my Physc eval. Does anyone have BCBS?

OMG. I'm glad to hear I'm not the only one with mixed emotions. I'm scheduled in 2 days and keep going back and forth about it. I know it's the right thing to do but I'm really nervous about the entire process. It's helpful seeing all the positive comments from everyone here.

      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?
