OH thank God it was resolved in time!

And just as an aside to the person criticizing and advocating self-pay -- if she HAS insurance, Bariatric surgery is a covered benefit, and she and her employer are paying in weekly on premiums, why shouldn't she expect to use that insurance and be upset that she was denied due to someone's dropping the ball on a technicality at the last minute?

I'd be hysterical!

And, we have been there. We had horrible (catastrophic) insurance the past two years; make too much to get help, don't make enough with two toddlers and bills to do anything but survive, and had to pay OOP thousands in medical gear for our daughter.

Yes, you can want it bad and self-pay -- if you have someone to watch your kids, run your household, and fill in for your missing income. Any discretionary income we have goes on helping our daughter. We're on the back-burner until she's taken care of.

Not everyone is in a position to do what you are advocating, and it doesn't mean they don't want it bad enough.

      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! 😞
