I hope you get an answer on Friday. I found out I was approved for surgery before the bariatric coordinator did. Keep us posted.

I think I will call Aetna again tomorrow. I feel like a little kid in the back seat on a family trip. Are we there yet? Are we there yet?

I was more nervous that my insurance was going to deny me. Everything was surreal. I felt like a little kid opening gifts during Christmas, once I found out I was approved. It's a life changing surgery and I waited 10 yrs to have it.

I know the feeling. I am afraid they won't approve the surgery and I will really be depressed. But I try not to dwell on anything negative.

Today is day 6 and I am feeling really good. My doctor was Dr. Robert Davis and I believe he did a fantastic job. I have more pain from my throat and ear from the tube they put down your throat than from the surgery.

Also the hospital staff at Memorial Herman were fantastic. They treated my wife and I really well.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      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?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
