I've been going thru all of this since late May, first appt was June 24, and ive been hoop jumpn til I got the call while shoppn in Walmart! Date was set for Dec 13th pre, then Dec 20th surgery, I literally danced in Walmart. Then got a second call when I got home from shoppn, changed from 20 to 30th of Dec. I was sad but glad bc they had first told me Feb 2014:(( so for me its been 6 months but not bc of ins or diet but bc of gov issues, military:( newhoo. I'm here now, Thank God!!

I've been whiney about not having any time off after the surgery. I work part time and already took my 1 week of vacation. It never occurred to me to ask, especially since its medical! So I asked what my options were and was told to go ahead and fill out paperwork for FMLA "just in case" I need an unexpected extended time off. I got all of that taken care of and now will have about 9 days off! So glad to know I can at least recover for just a bit!

I have Horizon too. I had 3 visits, 2 with the Nut and one with the surgeon. First initial visit was Aug and would have been sleeved in Oct. but ran into snag with my cardiac clearance. It was very fast turn around. I had everything all sewn up in record time and then wham..lol

I'm right with you on that one MissKatt...when I scheduled my surgery, I kept saying....WOW....I have 6 1/2 weeks I have to wait for this? I'll just NEVERRRRRRR make it. (LOL). Now I am 26 days away, with a holiday in between (which will go by in a blur), and I start my liquid diet in 2 1/2 weeks...it's just speeding right along!

Yeah! As I sat in the scheduler's office and she said his first available is Decemeber 2nd. I was like oh my gosh this is going to be the slowest month ever! To my surprise it is flying by. I start my 14 day Pre-op on Monday already.

It really is going by quickly.

      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?
