Well I did it. Last appointment was today! I lost another 2 pounds. Down 9 pounds since March. Ivan said it's gonna go by fast now as soon as they get the insurance approval. Hopefully something next week maybe. I will have 2 classes to take then talk to anesthesia. Can't even believe it.

Yeah Molly I'm so excited for you! It sounds like I'll be about 1-2 months behind you.. Maybe after we've both healed and it warms up we could meet up for a cup of broth...lol

Keep me posted on how long insurance takes. I saw Dr. Thompson is running a self-pay rate of $11999 if all else fails.

Thank you. And we should definitely meet up for lunch sometime. I would love to meet you guys. I actually have a friend who secretly got the sleeve done back in June. We went out to ihop without me knowing she had the surgery done. But after I brought it up about me getting it, she told me. She didn't eat much. She's lost a good amount of weight too. I also have another friend from school who just had a baby that had the sleeve done 2 years ago. She lost alot too. I'm pretty excited. I'm excited to be back to myself and have fun in life. I will be here for you guys too for any questions and help along the way. UC is so great though. Dr. Ivan is my favorite. He makes my day whenever I see him.

Im having mine done in Ashland. I will be seeing Dr. Wheeler. Yesterday was my FIRST appointment. I'm so excited but nervous at the same time. I'm starting my 6 month process for my insurance, which will put my surgery somewhere around July. Looking forward to getting started on this journey!

      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?

      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! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
