Had my final visit with my surgeon today! I've met all insurance requirements along with his requirements. I've lost some weight and dropped myself to a BMI of 40. He said that I have proven I'm serious about this surgery and what it will entail post op so he's given the office the go ahead to submit my file to insurance.

From what I've read with most UHC folks, they don't take too long to respond. Either way....this little lady is going to have a fun time keep herself preoccupied until we receive an answer! I cannot believe I'm this much closer!!!!

Thank you! Thank you! I'm having to remind myself to relax and let it be. If they deny...I can appeal. But I will cross that bridge IF I get to it. No need in worrying over something that may never take place. Hopefully the next time I'm posting a new topic...I'll be sharing my surgery date! Which I hope to be in early March..will work out perfectly with work!

Exactly! That's wasted energy and you have so much more you can be getting done. Keep your focus on you and how far you've come already. Good luck with your surgery!!!

      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! 😞
