Waiting on surgery date



Recommended Posts

Well I got my approval today, UHC took a little less than a week, got the news today. I am really excited but I am really kind of freaking right now, just waiting on the surgery date, I have to have my $250.00 program fees paid before I can get a surgery date, that will be done Friday, then they will call me with a date, and the blood work appointment and schedule the EGD. Now I am getting scared. Any advice would be appreciated. I have already taken several deep breaths, lol.

Yeah, I had a net gain during my 3 month NUT visits. My husband had a heart attack and triple bypass at age 37. So not to make excuses, but I had a lot going on and gained 4 pounds over where I started. Ugh. But I'm appealing in hopes they have a heart and will see I'm more focused and ready for this now more than ever. :)

I am excited for you! I just did my last appointment at KC Bariactric yesterday. They are going to submit my stuff to UHC and as soon as they approve it I will get my three appointments too! I am so stinking excited I have a hard time going to sleep and a hard time concentrating at work during the day!! Who knows maybe we will be about the same time getting our surgeries.

      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! 😞
