Sassyd-I had mine done at UH too!! Dr. Khaitan was my surgeon!! She's amazing, as well as her team. Hope your journey is going well...I had my RNY done in February and I'm almost at the 100 pound loss mark...

Good luck to everyone that has their surgery coming up soon!!

@@SammyRN congratulations on your weught loss. Yes, I agree Dr. Khaitan and the staff are great. I had my surgery (gastric sleeve) April 29th down 50 lbs.

I am glad I picked a great surgeon.

Hi!! I live in the Parma area and I work in Bedford. Going to the Clinic has been a pain because of the drive and the parking but I keep pushing myself. Nothing worth having is easy, right? I have 6 months preop so I will finish up in December. Approval is right after, takes about a month. Then surgery probably in January or February. Where are you from?

Hi Jen! Sorry I'm late. Didn't realize I've been logged out for a period of time. Smh. I'm from Cleveland, born and raised. Let me know if you need anything. I'd love to help in anyway that I can.

Cleveland here too! My out of pocket expenses were going to be crazy with Cleveland Clinic so i chose to do my WLS at St. Vincent Charity hospital. No complaints there, everything has gone smooth and the team is great. I just finished most of my pre op appointments it feels good to be this far along. I have two more nutritionist appointments... last one should be October 3rd! I do need to check with tge office but I don't have a surgery date yet, anyone know how long it usually takes to get a surgery date after ins approval? And when did you start your 2wk pre-op liquid diet? I like to be prepared lol... Just trying to figure out a timeline

Hi

Your MD should give ur surgery date after ur insurance approval.

I stared my 2wk preop diet immediately when the Dr office called me told me my insurance approved my surgery and they scheduled a follow-up appt with the surgeon to schedule pre op testing.

Hope that helps..but each situation is different. I had my surgery at UH

Just wondering if there's anyone else in Ohio and pre surgery with me.

Cleveland here! I am hoping to have surgery in January or February, depending on the length of the approval process. I am going through the Cleveland Clinic.

:rolleyes:

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      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!!
