Dr Castro in Duncanville. I'm scheduled for November 4th pending insurance approval but the office doesn't seem to think there should be any problem with approval. I hope they are right!

Wonderful, I am so happy for you. Dr. Nicholson would not provide a date prior to approval, I guess it is okay though since I know it is going to happen now.

Approval was much easier than I thought though. I started a new job in April, which meant new insurance. I was very fearful about the approval process, got a call on Monday. You are Approved, I asked my assigned nurse how likely was approval. She said if you need it we want you to have it. I think most insurance companies look for their criteria and requirements to be met. You should be fine if that is all in place.

Plus your Dr. office wants you to get approved they are likely doing all they can and telling you the right things to do.

I am having surgery Wednesday at Baylor Plano. Dr. Kilgore. Have you gone to any of the support groups? I have been going to one at the hospital every week for the past several months. They are extremely helpful.

      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?

      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! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
