That would be awesome! Need a surgery buddy!

Jan 5th is my husbands birthday.

It was that or the end of the month! So I chose the 5th. Haha!

Have to do whatcha gotta dooo!!

I could have had a date in December but, with my job, it's not an option.

Covering the shifts around Xmas are so difficult, I don't have kids, I always cover the holidays, and in the medical field so we only shut down for the "Holliday" so my warm and fuzzy boss says that jan 5 date.

What's a few more weeks!!

Jskallsldkjcksl!!!!!!

????excitement!!!! ????????

KSTUZ- I also work in a medical environment. I work at the hospital in my town. I work in the communications department and my department works 24/7 so we always need holiday coverage. January is easier to get coverage for my time off. Where are you located?

Congrats on your scheduled date! I have my first information meeting on Wednesday night. I have already decided that I am going to have the sleeve and hope I can have it in January. How long and what process have you had to go through to get approved for the surgery in January?

Congrats on getting started!!

I have Aetna, so they require a 3 month nutrition and diet program.

I had a little bit of probs cause, long story, my husband had a heart attack and triple bypass at age 37 back in feb/March. I had a net gain during those 3 months. Aetna states U cannot have a net gain. And I had no weight for 2013.

So I was denied. :( (July)

Then i appealed - denied again. (Aug)

I hired Lindstrom obesity advocacy

(They were EXCELLENT!!)

And was approved Oct 3rd!!!

I started my first meeting was January 7th 2013.

And my surgery is set for 2 days before!!!

I'm so happy and even tho it took a while, it was worth it.

The denial definitely hit me hard and the next denial was even worse. But it lit a fire in me that I wanted this and I had to get real serious whether or not this was for me.

And it is!!! The denials made me get my head together and with lots of family and friends support I have fought thru and here I am!!!!

So the whole process took me a year, a friend of mine, who I went thru the whole process with, was sleeved on aug 11th. So I am only a little behind.

Now is my time!! :)

Any questions let me know and good luck!! Keep in touch!

      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
