Any WA state sleevers with surgeries coming up?



Recommended Posts

I received a denial of my appeal to my insurance company for sleeve surgery because I was unable to provide medical documentation of a bmi above 35 for 2 years. This is even though I do have documentation that places me above bmi 35 for two years as of April 2016. So, I will likely plan to have the surgery in May. I can't believe how petty my insurance company is.

Yup I'm up and about but really struggling to get fluids in. Been having lots of muscle spams and pain. So it's hard to tell if I'm full .

Most likely gas pains. They are not fun! Walking really, REALLY helps. My nut told me to drink 1oz every 15min. It helped me a lot. Baby steps! It's gets better from here on...

Anyone else feel like their taste buds keep changing. One day I can stomach something and the next day it tastes gross.

YES! to taste buds changing. I also still have a lot of referral pain in my shoulder, but hoping walking will help. Yesterday was great, but today I had too much gas pain. Dr. Michelson suggested Gas-X strips, so I am giving those a try. :-)

Yes the gas x strips do work and of course walking. How much are you able to eat? Sometimes I feel like I eat alot? Idk I still haven't felt the feeling of full i think. I get so scared that I just stop but I end up eating more frequently. Idk if this makes sense.

That is awesome Whitefoot- it's so close!

I'm still in the 3 month weight loss and getting all the pre-surgical requirements done. Got my CPAP today for my sleep apnea. I'm hoping to have surgery in July.

I'd love to hear how surgery went with Dr. Houseworth at St. Francis. Any updates?

      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
