I started my research 6 months ago and finally decided on the sleeve. I am 210 lbs and 5 foot tall. I have just finished my nutrition visit and psyc eval. Now just waiting on insurance. Only snag my be 3 month supervised diet. When I first started the process I called HR and she stated I did not need one on our plan and showed me the webpage with the prerequisites and no 3 month diet needed but bsbc rep said I did need one. So Dr is going to submit the papers and see what happens. Why is it so hard for everyone to be on the same page!! Crossed fingers!!!!!

I'm in the same boat- I just had my last of the 6-month visits yesterday. The office submitted my paperwork to the insurance right after my appointment, so now I'm twiddling my thumbs until I hear from them. Or, more honestly, probably until Monday when I won't be able to take it anymore and I call the insurance company to ask how things are moving along. :)

Good luck to you! I hope they don't snag you up with the 3-month visits that they initially said you didn't need. Did you happen to keep a log of who it was you talked to?

      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! 😞
