Hey everyone, today I finally got everything in order and saw my 3rd surgeon for my last & final consult! (The other two I saw closed practices... ) and I finally got everything submitted to insurance today for my surgery! I'm so excited and cannot wait for the next 7 to 14 days to go by fast! I'm nervous and anxious to get my approval from insurance so I can set up my surgery... now, I started this process last august hopeing I would have had surgery in april. Well that wasn't the case cause I had to switch insurance plans because it was open enrollment this year for me. And now I'm definitely going to be having it next month! Cannot wait its been very stressful trying to get this all done... anyways a little about me...

I'm 5'5 I weigh 312lbs (started this journey at 340lbs) I cannot wait and just wondering if any of yous out there are also waiting for insurance approvals.:) just needing some friendly people going thro the same with me so I can talk about all the ups and downs. Thanks :)

I was told it can take up to 30days but usually only takes between 7 to 14days for approval. I'm excited and can't wait. Was told ill have the surgery around the middle of july long as everything goes 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! 😞
