Started this journey a year ago and had to put everything on hold until January of 2014 because of a dumb preexisting clause with my new insurance company. I restarted the process in Nov and had lab work and upper GI done. Met with nutritionist and will have my psych eval on Sat. Once it is complete my doctor will submit paperwork for approval of surgery. The nerves about getting approved that I read from everyone on here are already setting in. I have Blue Cross Blue Shield of Texas and my doc said that my policy does include wls so that's a positive note. I am so ready to have this done. I have two children in elementary school and it will be so nice to not be tired all the time after all their activities. I am 5' 1 and 255 lbs and have tried every diet I've encountered. I'd lose but would eventually regain. I really enjoy everyone's posts and pray for all of you to find the success and good health that we are all striving for with this endeavor. I'll keep you all posted and look forward to reading more from you all!

      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! 😞
