Hi guys, I did all my testing and turned everything in and had a date for May 2013. My insurance says everything looked great, BUT we forgot to tell you that you have to have our insurance for a year first!!! I was so bummed at the time, but am now starting to get excited, it's just around the corner! Anyone else out there going to have surgery about that time?

Mine will most likely be in mid-January 2014. I go back and forth from being very excited, to stressing about stuff. The holidays always go by so quickly, so I know that it's practically right around the corner! Yikes! good luck to you :)

That would be difficult. Hopefully you can firm up a date and start the excitement phase.

Hello All. My date has not been positively scheduled yet but we're looking at February 11th. My surgeon only does surgery on Tuesdays. I'm still doing all of my preliminary medical visits and just started my mandatory 3 month pre-operation diet. I am located in Mississippi and I'm looking for surgery buddies to help me through this process. :unsure: Janet

I may be a February 2014 Sleever. I'm still going through the preapproval process, but I hope to have approval by mid January! I'm so excited!

      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! 😞
