Surgery date set!



Recommended Posts

I am scheduled for January 27th ???? 10 a.m. The excitement is real lol. I was concerned about getting my money together for my co-pay. My training coordinator told me that she paid 1600. I was beating myself up cause I set that date cause I was excited and that was the date she said so I went with it.... After I got off the phone I was like "fu*k"...... Today I came up with a bright idea and thought I would call my secondary insurance (caresource) and see if they would cover the expenses that my primary (Aetna) wouldn't cover.... Thank god for giving me that bright idea. They will cover the remaining expenses!!!!! So relieved. I was going to use part of my tax money to pay the co-pay.... Now I can put that money towards a car. God is good! I'm so excited. I had my pre-op appointment today. While I was there, I doubled checked with the insurance coordinator and she said since I had caresource as a secondary they won't have to collect anything from me???? I had my "before photo" taken today. Pre admission testing is on the 13th. That includes: lab work, chest x-ray, EKG, upper GI, Pulmonary and cardiac testing, and meeting with my dietician.

      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! 😞
