My final requirement was to lose 30 lbs before I could have surgery, I'm on a liquid diet so by April 9th I should be ready to go! They say they already started the final approval process so I'm hoping my surgery will be in April too. I have mixed emotions right now, I'm excited and so ready to start getting my life back but I also feel like something is going to go wrong and all this work will have been for nothing. everything seems so surreal the closer I get the less confident I am that this will get approved.

I am just waiting on my Psyc eval and my last nutrition eval then things can be submitted i am also hoping for a April date. I am in Ocala Fl. I had to have my lap band removed at the end of January due so health issues and problems with it.

A few things changed in my end. Tomorrow I go to see my surgeon again since initially I asked for the sleeve and later decided on the gastric bypass. I go back regarding my sleep apnea on 3/18 and I've rescheduled my last psych eval to next week on 3/20. After that as long as all goes well I'll be submitted for approval at the end of next week. Whew!!! So anxious about it all.

I heared from my 'care coordinator' today and they are submitting my paperwork for approval today. I'm hoping it goes fast. Getting pre-op blood work done tomorrow morning.....She said she is still scheduling for March, but since I also have to do a 2 week liquid diet, I'm thinking it will probably be early April. I'm freaking out a little. Just sayin.....

      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...

      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
