My file was sent to UHC on Friday. I called tonight just for kicks and giggles, but it wasn't showing in the system yet. So I shall try again at a later date!!

Yes definitely try again! My insurance company told me they work over the weekend on these approvals so maybe yours does too! <3

I'm really hoping you hear something soon sassy!

In the meantime, I have two more appointments left before going in for final approval from insurance; one is schedule for this coming Friday and the last is early next week. Why do I feel like time has gone into slow motion suddenly? Usually time flies by, except now I feel like I'm never going to get done with these appointments!!!

Ugh. Hopefully once it goes to insurance it won't take them forever to approve. Fingers crossed for both you sassy and me!!!!

Ladiessss! I have officially been approved! I'm still in total shock but so glad it's FOR SURE this time! My file was submitted last Friday so I was approved in 2 business days which totally surprised me! I am so stinkin excited.

@@RNYDawn isn't your date soon??? Please keep us posted on your progress. I'm tickled pink for you and @@Nurse_Lenora !

@@Renkoss thank you so much! And yes- I believe the time at the end seemed to slow down drastically for me as well. Your appointments will be here and gone before you know it! Our surgery dates may be fairly close :) I will definitely be sending prayers your way as you await the decision from insurance! Let me know how it all goes for you :)

Sassy, I am pre-op! I just finished up month 3 of the 6 month insurance requirement! I expect my surgery to be in May or early June at the latest!

      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!!

        So proud of you Cat. Getting into those smaller size clothes is half the fun isn't it?. Keep up the good work!!!!

      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... :(
