I am hoping for December but it may be stretched to January. I know it will be here before I know it!

I am also hoping for a December date. My insurance requires a 6 month supervised diet. My final diet appointment is November and then I can be submitted to insurance for final approval. I am guessing with the holiday the first week of Dec. would be the best I could hope for.

I seem to be on the same time-frame as you. I'll do my last weight loss visit in early November and it will just be a waiting game after that. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for December, but bracing myself for the idea that it may be January. If so, that would probably be better for my family to not have me recuperating from surgery over the holidays.

Woohoo December people! Although I just got recommended for a full hip replacement so that will likely push me back but hopefully not too long. I would love to have the RNY first but can barely walk now.

I call tomorrow for my official surgery date but I will be getting mine done on/around December 19...I'm just under 2 months away! After 10+years of aiming to get this surgery (and failing every diet to kingdom come during that time) it feels surreal! I can't believe this is finally happening!

So December folks we are getting closer. How is everyone progressing toward a Dec 2014 surgery date? Met with my Doc this week and was told that they would submit to insurance on 11/11/2014 right after my 3:00 p.m. Diet appointment. Then as soon as the get the insurance approval we can schedule a surgery date and pre-op appointment. He also said since my BMI is now below 40 I will not need to do the 2 week pre-op liquid diet.< /p>

Still being optomistic that I can have surgery the first week of Dec.

I guess I just got lucky. My final weigh-in was on 11/11. Got my medical clearance by the surgeon's office on 11/17. Paperwork arrived at the insurance company the afternoon of 11/20 and I got the approval call the next morning 11/21. I was given my surgery date on 11/25. My surgery date is 12/10. I started my pre-op diet the same day that I found out my date. My head is still spinning!

      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?

      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
