I am post op 4 days... We submitted all paper work on July 2 and I was approved that Monday. My doctors office now has 600 people who were in the 6 month process wanting surgery asap. I wonder how long people will have to wait for surgery with this influx of everyone . I was happy to do the six months . I learned a lot. This isn't something that should be rushed . Make sure you are ready ! Good luck to all!

Who was your Dr ? I'm with Duke here in Raleigh I'm hoping soon as approval I can get a surgery date , I started this journey on April 19 so im really good on the information I've collected more information on this site been a member since march so how are you doing ? Keep us posted with your progress thanks for the information : )

Morning ... Dr. Paul Enochs did my surgery. He was wonderful! Recovery is slow but we figured out that I have a bladder and kidney infection and that is where the fevers are coming from. I am giving up looking at the scale until my post op appointment on aug 5th. Please feel free to ask any questions :) I will be honest and not sugar coat anything!!!

Spoke with my case manager today and she said BCBS is currently averaging a 3-7 day approval period and that my surgeon is only scheduling 1-2 weeks out right now, so no massive wait period (yet). My last appts are August 11th and 12th then will be submitted to insurance!!

      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! 😞
