Any October surgeries out there...



Recommended Posts

Okay, I sorta cheated. Finished all the hoops last Thursday and talked with the case manager who stated she was just getting ready to submit the papers to the insurance company. She said that they should know something in about two weeks. So today I log into my insurance company's website and checked to see if an authorization for surgery had been submitted. Sure enough it had been, still pending of course, but the surgery date the doctor's office submitted it for is 10/23/13. Hopefully, they can move it up a little. With no lapband anymore, having to work really hard to maintain the weight I lost. I'm doing it but so totally insecure without the tool on board.

This is what I get for cheating by checking my insurance. Doctor's office called today at 1:00 PM CST, informed me my insurance had approved me (two business days.....faint, faint, faint) and my surgery is 9/11/13 at 10:00 AM. Went from fainting at the fast approval to a small heart attack. So no longer on the October forum. Switching to September.

      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...

      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! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
