Just got my date, Dec 10th!

Aside from waiting 2 more months, I think December is an awesome month to have it done. What a way to start the new year!

My date is also 3 weeks after my 45th birthday, so it will be a great birthday present to myself also. Perhaps I will go in and pay the hospital/surgeon fees on my birthday to make it my official present.

Haleylhs be careful with weightloss before. Ins are very different so yours may be nothing like mine. However I just saw my nut on Thursday and was told don't lose any weight until I'm approved because my ins requires 40+ bmi and I drop to 41. But again I don't know if you have any other medical conditions. Just thought I would fyi because I would have never thought about that. :-)

I'm good ☺ going a little nuts and wish time would fly. Have 2nd appt with surgeon this Friday psych on the 21st and 2nd nut on the 31st. Will set my tummy camera appt friday with surgeon and hopefully will be submitting to ins by the 2 week of nov. Cant loose any weight which is driving me nuts because I'm at my HW ever and have NO jeans that fit. And I have days to quit smoking. I have to stop in the next 2 days for sure I just don't know how. How's are the rest of dec sleeves doing?

      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.

      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! 😞
