Did you have any co morbities? I'm still pending insurance approval and I have none right now except hypertension. nervous about getting denied :/

I have No comorbidities. My approval was 1 week. How long have you been waiting so far? I think there will be no problem with you being approved.

I'm November 21 in So Cal...a week before Thanksgiving and 2 weeks before my birthday! But have only been at my "new" job for 4 months so I had to schedule it near holiday since I don't have much accrued vacation time.

My first name is Tianna, I am from Northern Alberta Canada. My surgery is on Nov 25, at OCC Tijuana. I am 5' 10.5", weight 307ish ( depending in who's scale) I don't have a end goal weight in mind. Honestly, the thought of being under 200 seems impossible. I am very active and play Roller Derby. Myself and 2 other teammates are going together for the sleeve. 1 is actually getting a lap band removal and then either the plication or the sleeve. We scheduled it around our 2 month Christmas break, but I wish I would of done it right after our season was over. I could be down so much by now. Getting my mind, house and family ready for the pre op Protein Shake and green veggies diet, and am terrified of it, lol. But can not wait to start my new life! Yayy November :D

      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?
