I used William Graber at St Josephs; he was great. Your date is getting pretty close, huh?

Cool, I'm seeing Dr. Baranov in Saratoga Springs. He's been awesome so far. Yes, my date is a little over a month away! Starting to get nervous and excited. Did you go thru your insurance? I have CDPHP and my surgeons scheduler made it sound like I would get approved super easy. I've already seen the Nutritionist, I got for Pre-op testing next week along with my weigh in, and then psych evil on may 13th....i dont think they've actually submitted everything to my insurance yet...

Yes, I went through my insurance. The whole process was super easy and his office pretty much handled everything; they just told me where to be and when. LOL They were very familiar with my insurance carrier's requirements and were so certain of approval that I had my surgery date well before they even requested the auth.

You are going to LOVE it on the other side.

Lol, that's funny it's the same way with this office. I was just told where to go and when and that's it! They've been handling everything. I love this surgeon and his whole office team. They've been great. Now it's just finishing up all of my appointments and then surgery. Any advice on what to bring to the hospital with me?

I didn't bring much to the hospital; some magazines, my Kindle and chapstick were all I really used. Oh, and a change of underwear because they let me shower on day 2 and it was glorious. I wore the hospital gown and super cool slipper socks.

Lol, OH yeah! Slipper socks! Haha. I had my gallbladder out at the end of last year and I didn't bring much with me then either so I think I'll plan the same for this surgery. Really hoping it's not as painful as gallbladder surgery tho.

I had my surgery feb. 17th of this year. About 9 weeks out at this point. I have lost 61lbs. I had my surgery in Rochester. I took some clothes like tank tops, yoga pants and clean underwear to the hospital. I had my gallbladder out about 7 years ago and I remember it being somewhat painful but unfortunately this will be more major. I didn't have too much pain other than the drain tube. Walk as much as possible. I walked 2 miles in the hospital. You will definitely want Chapstick, toothbrush and toothpaste and maybe some face cloths. It felt awesome to clean my face and clean up a little bit after surgery.

      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!!
