Hi ladies.... I called the office today to ask about my psych clearance I had in December to see if it was still usable and while I had her on the phone I asked to switch and she did I can continue to use everything and since they are now associates I believe it is actually easier because they already have my file in the system .... I will just be seeing Dr Neff now instead of Dr G.... So I am excited because Dr Neff does more sleeves and Dr G is more LapBands....

That's great that it all worked out for you!! If you need anything let me know today is my 2 months out :) and I couldn't be happier with Dr.Neff :) good luck

Great! Were you able to have the same appointment day? I gotta call them back again, they said they were busy and would return my call on Monday.

Also horizon covered both my nutritionist and psych

Nice! My nutritionist is supposedly covered, at my local hospital. When I called Horizon for a list of psychs who could do a bariatric clearance someone said they were not covered. May I ask how you got it covered?

Alright folks, I'm on board too. I switched to Neff today. Have an appointment the 25th, so fortunately it's not holding anything up switching. Three days earlier actually.

Thanks! Like everyone who is looking to take this drastic step I am devouring as much info as I can get, so anything you would like to share is welcome. How long did Neff make you wait to drive or go back to work? Were you in a lot of pain, for how long? Anything that you felt surprised by?

I was a me to drive when I stopped taking the pain meds and could deal just from Tylenol. I was not in pain in my actual stomach. Where my incisions are hurt. There was a lot of pulling and weird sensations. I had to sleep on just my back for about 4 weeks. The mindf*ck was honestly the hardest part. You go from being used to eating whatever u want to bein ridiculously limited. I wouldn't change it for the world but everyone is different. I am NEVER hungry but I know people who have had the surgery who say they are hungry all the time. It's really important to learn the difference between actual hunger and head hunger. If you can overcome head hunger u will be good :)

Meeting up would be great and I'm always available if you need help with anything or just have questions. I'm training for a 5k now and registered for the mudderella in may. You ladies could totally sign up if ull be recovered by then and we could do it together :)

Sounds good to me! Have you ever been to the Cape May County Park and Zoo? It was named #3 in the nation by trip advisory and it is a FREE zoo! Lots of places to walk around, things to see.

Well, howdy neighbor!

I wish Cape Regional still offered weight loss surgery support groups. I'd like to participate in one but the closest one that I found, which also happens to be free to everyone regardless of where your surgery is done, is Atlanticare. That's a little hike. Wonder why Cape Regional ever stopped.

      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?
