Playing the waiting game...



Recommended Posts

Hello, new friends! I've been reading the threads for weeks now, but I've never posted.

I'm waiting for approval from my ins. co. I've done everything that's been requested so far. I'm on pins and needles. I started out wanting lap belt but because of health problems my doctor wants me to have gastric bypass. I'm very nervous, but I feel better after I read all the encouraging words you all give to each other. I'm 64. I have diabetes, high blood pressure and sleep apnea. The doctor says all those things will resolve themselves after surgery. I'm very anxious. Thanks to all of you in advance for being there.

      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! 😞
