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 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! 😞
