Eek! One month from today sassyfrass! I'm so excited for you.

I got a call from my navigator Friday letting me know everything was in order and that all my paperwork had been fax'd to the insurance. So now I wait for their answer. I'm counting down the days until I hear. I don't think I should have any problems since I have so many comorbidities along with the 100 lbs. overweight. But, as soon as I know I'll let you know!!

@@sassyfrass23 I just started my process. I have UHC. I am so glad you posted this! I have my first dietician appointment today and will be in the office to ask about the 6 month pre approval for surgery. I would never have thought to ask this.

@@Smitty42 the odd and end things are exhausting. It never would have crossed my mind. But luckily it all worked out. It appeared to be something my husband's employer chose though. So hopefully it won't be like that for you!

@@sassyfrass23 I do have a pre-op diet. It is a two week Liquid Protein shake diet. Isn't that what you have too? I hope my date will be around yours. We will see once the nurse calls me. Hopefully I'll hear from her and schedule surgery by this coming Friday! Hubby is excited and scared for me too. He is just praying that this will help all my health issues. He will be my biggest supporter, and trust me when I tell you, he watches my eating like a hawk! Can't get away with anything with him around! hhahahaha

That's exactly how my husband is! His mom had RNY 10 years ago. So luckily this isn't his first rodeo. He is my biggest cheerleader and I'm grateful for that...especially after seeing so many sad post on here where people don't have supportive family or significant others. :(

Hey!! I had my surgery on 03.29.16. So just a little over 2 weeks out. I'm feeling great. The first few days were a bit rough from the pain, but around day 5, things really improved. I went back to work a week and 2 days later and have been able to manage. I just come home a little more tired than usual. But I expect that to improve around week 6.

So far, including the pre op diet, I've lost a total of 28 lbs! 18 on the diet and 10 post op.

So far so good and so so grateful I have embarked in this journey!

      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
