Hey guys, how long does it take for insurance too accept for surgery ?

I also am worried. My goal weight by surgeon before surgery is 213. Last week my weigh in was at 215. Today I weighed myself I am 218 and my next weigh in is tomorrow. I have been prepping for this surgery for 3 months. I am unable to lose weight to get to this goal weight !! I don't know what else to do.

Go on the liquid only diet now. You'll lose the weight.

I second Recycled post.

Nothing but Clear liquids to do something drastic to get you over the hump. That will help at least.

Don't think ill get down to 213 though by tomorrow. Dietician will probably want to see me a few more times ( making this process even longer ) since she books like 2-4 weeks out ! Thanks everyone. I am going to do the liquid from now on.

      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! 😞
