Got so excited by your other reply that I didn't see this one! Pennington did the seminar that I went to and I loved him.. he seemed so sweet! The pysch eval is the last thing my insurance is requiring and Margaret told me that my insurance doesn't take long for approval either. Yay for a surgery buddy!

I've met the mental health lady and love her! She has a great sense of humor. Unfortunately my insurance is requiring a licensed psychologist to do a full psych eval and she said she can't do it. So I have an appointment with someone I don't know. This is only requirement my insurance has so I can't really complain too much!

Looks like when you go in I'll be a week or two out. Can't wait to know my date for sure though!

      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! 😞
