Got my date yesterday. I'm scheduled for August 14th as long as insurance approves my weights. Final weigh on Aug 3rd, then wait for approval. Keeping my fingers crossed. If they make me wait until Sept it will really screw me up.

I had my Endo yesterday (Friday) and found a haital hernia which my surgeon said he can fix during surgery. I have my very last class on July 15th..... so since the Endo is done, I'm awaiting approval and a surgery date!!!!!

My surgery just scheduled for August 10. I wasn't required to have endo but I had to do a barium swallow where they check for any hernia's etc...I am in Texas. The only other test my surgeon had me take was a CT scan, both parents passed from pancreatic cancer so she ordered a screening for me just to make sure all is well before this major VSG surgery. Best of luck to all, August will be here quick:-)

I'm APPROVED!! *happy dance* I don't have a date scheduled yet, and I probably won't know for another week, but approval was the big hurdle!

I just found out I have yet another hoop to jump through. Now I need a surgical clearance from an Internal Medicine doctor before they will schedule me. My doc IS an internal medicine doctor, but of course she's on vacation until July 15. We live 300 miles away from most major medical services, so it looks like I will have to go out of town to get it done. AAGH!

      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! 😞
