That's what I'm hoping for @@jantra12 !!!!

Thank you so much, @@SHOTzY ! The excitement from everyone feels so genuine and heartfelt. I absolutely adore you all! Having this support, whether times be hard or great, it is incredible. My family and friends who know about my surgery are super supportive, but they're not walking this path with me like everyone else so they don't/can't fully relate.

I won't give you another novel to read. But just wanted to say that after talking with my surgeon's office this morning, I just found out that they haven't even submitted my file yet. So, obviously no way I could even been approved for surgery.

I just fell HARD from cloud 9 and have closed myself up in my office at work to regain my composure at this point...

Yikes! Girl I'm so sorry that this is so dramatic.

Have you considered Mexico? Because I swear if I were in your shoes I would be considering it just to avoid all this drama .

Oh my goodness! What is going on with your doctor and insurance? This is just not right.

I am so sorry that you keep getting misinformation. I am praying that your team gets this figured out a sap. It's crazy.

You stay strong!

I just have to say- after I found out and posted my update, I was completely drained. This process has been so emotionally exhausting and I'm just ready for it to be done.

After this morning, my mom decided to take me out of town for the night- to the casino!! So, I'm going to get away and take my mind off of everything.

This wasn't a "No" by any means, so I still have hope. Just sucks that I'm not past the most excruciating part like I thought I was. The anticipation of being approved and having your file in the hands of people who know little about you and have the final say..

Haha! Yes- I have to be mindful of the surgery I WILL have. ;)

BTW- I have considered Mexico but a part of me is a bit nervous about that decision. So I'm leaving it as my last resort. Not to mention- my family isn't too keen on the idea :\

I'm praying for you. Have faith. I know how frustrating it can be. I'm pre-op myself and I'm waiting on approval. I've had to go back and forth with denials/more information needed. But I know it is God's will that I get this surgery. This struggle has made me a stronger fighter. Continue to trust God and believe that He has your life in His hands. We will both have our testimonies as we transition to the losers bench!!! ????

      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! 😞
