Everyone keeps asking what I want for Christmas...



Recommended Posts

...And I just say "nothing" because if I tell them "insurance approval" they will wonder why? and what for? Well my anonymous internet friends, my Christmas gift came early and it looks like my insurance (after my call to them today) approved my surgery! I could cry right now! I am still waiting for my approval letter and for the surgery date and I know something could happen where insurance suddenly changes their mind but right now, I am just so happy!

My fear of rejection was scaring me more than the surgery itself(reliving my college admissions all over again) and I just had to tell someone, because i've been keeping it hush hush until A.) Insurance approves or denies my request for surgery and B.) I get a surgery date.

I will still be hesitant until I get an official surgery date but I just can't keep quiet about insurance initially approving my request for surgery!

Merry Christmas and congrats! I understand, I worry I'll jinx myself so I mostly just congratulate others wishing and wishing. All the best to you!

      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! 😞
