I should be having mine in June. I have one more appt after Monday and hope to schedule my surgery. does anyone know if they will go ahead and schedule the surgery while you are waiting for insurance approval?

They scheduled mines before approval and my surgery was approved 1 day before surgery

They scheduled mine 4 weeks before my surgery because i was afraid that my insurance was going to change and didn't want to have issues. as soon as my last nut visit it only took a day to get approved. good luck :)

I agree, they will go ahead and give you an attentive date, just for insurance purposes. My first date was the 20th, ive known my date since march, just got approved today and they pushed my date up to the 17th. on day approval.

I've made it to the 14 days left mark, it's all nerves and emotions from here. I am picking up all my Protein and supplements from the surgeon's office tomorrow. I am paying my dietitian fee as well. My insurance is picking up the tab for the surgery. I am getting so excited I can hardly sleep. Can't wait to be on the other side.

I have set a goal for myself to be 300 or below on the day of my surgery. I haven't started my pre-op diet yet, I am sure I can meet my goal by the end of the 14 days. My pre-op diet starts next Wednesday. I have pre-op next Thursday at the surgeon's office for 4 hours then I go to the hospital to do all their pre-op stuff. I am going to be real busy that day. I have never met my surgeon, but he is really well known in my area. So I am kinda nervous about meeting him. I did see him a few times when I was in respiratory therapy school. So I have seen some of his work up close.

I plan on getting the house cleaned up real good the six days between pre-op and surgery. I'm only supposed to be in the hospital one night, so to much destruction can't possibly happen with just my hubby and dogs at home alone one night. Of course, I could be wrong. :)

      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!!

        So proud of you Cat. Getting into those smaller size clothes is half the fun isn't it?. Keep up the good work!!!!

      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

      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! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
