I have a fear that I will have gone through this whole 6 month process only to get denied!! What if I get denied? I have pretty much stopped living life and have just been WAITING to live after surgery. Is this making sense? I know I shouldn't put all of my eggs in one basket and look at the possibility of getting denied and if I do, I don't have a plan B. I don't know, I think all this waiting is driving me batty!!

I felt the same way. All this time. I swear my anxiety was at an all time high waiting for the insurance to approve me. I called every other day. But I got the call and it made everything I had been doing worth it. Wish you nothing but the best!!

What does your insurance require? If you meet the criteria, you will get approved.

In that case, I should be okay, I guess it's just the fear of the unknown setting in. I've come this far and the waiting is killing me.

As of today everything is done and I hope it will be sent up to insurance early next week. Going to try and wait not too impatiently. Good thing my insurance company had a reputation of replying within a few days

@@Nikke25, have you heard anything yet? It has been super quiet here and I'm on pins & needles just waiting and wanting to hear something!

Yes. Thanks for checking. My hospital called me Monday saying they needed additional bloodwork. Just faced them the results today that were all normal. Hospital insurance said that was all they needed so hopefully they can send it to insurance.

      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.

      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! 😞
