I was picked for a pilot program at my work, so I am one of the lucky ones that did not have to do the 6 months of food and diet stuff. All I have had to do is provide the dr.s office with my records and do all the required tests. I know that if I had to do the 6 months of supervised diet that I would have lost some but not enough to be denied. I have a hard time losing when I'm doing everything right.

Oh awesome! That's great you don't have to do the 6 month program :) I have the same issue... every time I really try on a program, I lose 8-10 lbs. I get frustrated and gain it all back and usually more. I already did my sleep apnea study and I have been using a machine. I actually have already been seeing a cardiologist too but am having some trouble with them giving me clearance. They want me to do one more stress test before they give me cardiac clearance but my insurance keeps denying this last test :( I'm trying to appeal it but we shall see...

So glad I don't have to deal with the insurance part of it. I will keep my fingers crossed that they let you get the tests that you need.

You have to have your EGD before meeting the surgeon? Or that is what the surgeon will schedule next? Sweet! You are very close! I have my three month visit March 19th...so 3 more months and then hopefully everything gets moving from there :) All my tests are approved finally! My last test is this Friday and then it's just getting all my paperwork in while I continue my weight loss program :) I'm excited for you! Can't wait to hear how everything goes for you!! :) Let me know how you like Dr. Murr! My pulmonary doc said Dr. Murr is absolutely the best out there! So that made me feel great :)

Ugh, I'm going to have to jump through hoops to get this revision done! Surgeon says I'm going to need to get a letter of medical necessity from a PCP, problem is that I haven't had a PCP in years. Can anyone recommend a good one that is easy to work with? Prefer Dade/Broward area, but will drive if necessary.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      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!!
