Hi everyone! I'm new here! I just got the call from my primary doctor that they sent my letter of recommendation to the surgeon! I'm just waiting for the psych eval to be send and then the surgeon's office can submit to my insurance.

I'm so excited! I can't wait to finally take control of my life and weight loss!!!

Does anyone have any pre/post-op tips or advice??

I am in the same boat as you. I completed my echo today, blood work tomorrow, and then they will submit to the insurance company for approval. My insurance company does not require a diet so does anyone know how long the insurance approval process is?

My insurance approved in 3 days. Some take 2 weeks or longer. Good luck!

      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! 😞
