It looks like we are going to have a good group. It's going to be very beneficial to all of us. We can keep this group going and always be able to come in and post questions since we are all having the surgery one right after the other! I'm so excited to have so many people in here. There are few like me having surgery the first week so we will be able to help with questions and to give you an idea what our hospital stay and pain etc. Oh I just wanted to see if your up for using our real first name. If your not comfortable that's perfectly fine.

I will start my name is Amy!!!!

We are going to be a great group !! My name is Colleen !!!!!

Hi All! Stats eh?

My name is Bonnie

Dr. Laycock at Dartmouth Hitchcock Hospital (DHMC)

Surgery date is 11/13

Weight High - 241, Current 225, Projected 150 (ish) (or wherever my body happily and healthily lands)

Ins. MVP, time waited for approval 5 days

Ins. requirements, 6 monthly, supervised weight loss visits with PCP and 5% weight loss.

Pre-op diet, 2 weeks, semi liquid 800 - 1,000 calories a day. I can't wrap my mind around those who have long term Optifast specific pre op diets.

Good luck everyone, it will be fun watching you all succeed!!

My approval took 1 day. I did call my insurance company the day it was submitted to make sure they had it and I requested o get a call once a decision was made. I got a call the next morning and the dr office called after lunch to give me my date. I am not very patient so I probably would have called everyday to check on it :)

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      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...
