Thanks! It's the Losing part that's the hardest...isn't that why we're here in the first place. I know it's to prepare your liver for surgery...makes it easier to get it out of the way but' date=' yeesh 20-24 pounds is alot. I'm trying though!

I'm going to try out the chat if anyone is interested :)

By the way I'm going through Tufts Medical Center's Weight and Wellness Center in Boston[/quote']

Hi. That is where I went. I had Dr Julia Kim. She is awesome. When is your surgery?

I am almost 6 yrs out. Just do exactly what they say and you will be amazed at the results. Just remember Protein first!!! And. Chew chew chew..... :D

Hi I'm from Ma I had my surgery at Tufts Medical in Boston. I am 6 yrs out and wanted to go to meetings in the area. I tried to go to Tobey's and they said I could not join their groups because I did not have the surgery there..... So I have started my own. I have taken a leadership program from Obesity Help and I have meetings at the Sr Citezen Center in Fairhaven Ma We are on break until September. We meet the second Saturday of the month at 9:30. Right now we are a small group but we are there helping each other. Support groups are very important from the get go. All are welcome. If interested please let me know.

Niecie

I am going to Tobey live in new Bedford maybe I'll check ur group out when u start back up I will be going to tobeys also so maybe I can bring some info from there

I just heard today, after calling my insurance company myself, that my surgery has been approved. YAY! I'm going to Tufts Medical Center in Boston and the last I heard my surgery is scheduled for July 11. My woman who does the scheduling for my surgeon went home early today so I'll call again tomorrow to confirm.

Thanks Don. Surgery date is definitely 7/11. They offered me 7/3 but, I already had everything set at work for 7/11 so that wouldn't of worked.

Each insurance has their own requirements. Mine required 3 months of supervised dieting but, a ton of history with your PCP. 4 years worth of weights, letter from pcp, surgeon's letter and explanation of what she's doing, diet plan history, health work-ups etc. I've been working on this since Oct of last year when I started with a different group. The group that did my lapband. But then switched to this group and started this process in March. Very thankful it's finally approved. 3 weeks for you will come quick Don!

thank you eglean2. Sorry I just saw the post. Hubby and I went to NH for our anniversary and so this is the first time for me to get back online. Lots of catching up to do.

What's everyone doing for the 4th of July? I'm taking the time to pick up the items I need for the week after the surgery. :)

      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...
