OMGG ME TOO! I'm so excited I can relate! How has your process been? Who's your insurance! I have Jennifer as my dietitian. I love the atmosphere there! Your almost there! Tell me everything:) I am so happy.. Lol I'm only 21. So I don't really know anyone my age that has got it let alone know anyone who has got it.. I'm on my second dietitian appointment! My insurance is medical mutual.. I'm 2/3 dietitian appointments. I have one more class which is this Wednesday.. I still have to get the sleep machine.. And I think that's it.. So I think February? Cause my last dietitian appointment is jan 4th I think.. I really don't know what they do after that..

I love the program and the dietitians and staff! Everyone is so nice there... Unfortunately I had a few unpleasant experiences. But I can honestly say the program as a whole sets you up for success! Who was your surgeon?

I had surgery on December 27th. Dr. Chandra Hassan at SVCMC. I was scheduled for a gastric bypass. I knew going into the surgery that there might be complications and we might have to revert to a sleeve. I have had many, many abdominal surgeries so I have severe scar tissue. He was not able to get through all the scar tissue and free up any of my intestines. We talked right before surgery and I asked him to not let me come out of this without either surgery. He managed to do a sleeve and I am very grateful. He was very kinds and caring. I think anyone who chooses Dr. Hassan will be very happy with their procedure.

That's truly awesome! Did your insurance pay for it? And if so what kind do you have?

I have Medical Mutual like you do. Before they will hold your surgery date, you must have any remaining deductible and co-insurance paid in full to them. I was lucky that my balance remaining for both was minimal. We are lucky, some insurances require six, nine or 12 months on medically supervised diet. My plan only required three months. My BMI was not over 50 so I am fortunate that I didn't require liquid diet for weeks before. I believe that is out of pocket and is expensive. You will do great! Don't worry!

Awesome I'm so excited! I don't have any balances to pay. Which is good! I'm nervous they will deny me. Cause I'm not losing a lot of weight like people normally do before the surgery..

I didn't lose nearly as much as I had hoped. But like a pound or two here and there

      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...

      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
