My first appointment is on July 9 th and I will meet with the insurance specialist, surgeon, nut, and psychologist for all the initial reviews, I'm going through Vanderbilt in Nashville so they have all the Drs in one office. I have researched these procedures for years and I am praying that all goes smoothly for a quick insurance approval. My pcp has already said she will sign off that I've been working on losing weight on my own for over 6 months if the insurance wants it. I'm 36 and it's time my weight gets in control. I'm hoping for a surgery date by about mid October so I can build up some PTO for the recovery time.

Awesome! My 1st appointment with my nutritionist is on August 6. But unfortunately I'm going to have to wait until next summer to get my surgery. Good luck with everything.

Yes!! I have seen surgeon 3 times this month will be my 4th visit. I was told I have to do 6. Listening to the others I feel off track. I haven't seen any one but the surgeon and had an upper GI. I will see psychologist the 16th.

      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.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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?

      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
