Hi Angela! Congrats on your surgery date! I was told April 11th but still waiting for approval from my insurance. My doctors office ended up not submitting enough clinical info so they had to retract my request and resubmit. Makes me mad but... Hoping it al gets taken care of this time around!

Which surgery will you be having? I will be having bypass.

Where are you located in Pittsburgh? I'm in the south hills near the village mall. How about you? Where will you be having your surgery?

I was lucky & my approval was no problem. Hopefully yours gets all fixed soon. I'll be having gastric bypass at West Penn Hospital. I'm from the Harmarville area near the Mills mall.

Surgery is coming up soon & I'm just starting to get a little nervous. I'm happy that I'm doing it but it's all of the unknowns of what you'll feel like after surgery

I'm having gastric bypass at west penn hospital also! Is your dr Dr Eid? That's who I have. Maybe we will end up being room mates! Wouldn't that be crazy!?! Your a bit far from where I live but not crazy far.

I wish you the best with your surgery! Keep me posted on how you do and I wish you all the best. Are you on Facebook? I'm on there as Dawn Bistarkey. We can use messenger to chat. It would be alot easier. Let me know!

I'm on Facebook too under Angela bottles. Feel free to messenger me. My doctor is Dr Marr. Have you gotten your approval from insurance yet? I just had my pre-op appointment last week & the diet so far has been pretty easy (lost 156 lbs in 6 months), but the pre-op diet the week before of 3 Protein drinks a day us going to be the hardest as I just don't like them. In the end it will all be worth it.

Wait I'm confused. So you had the surgery already or didn't?

I got my date for April 26! I just got it yesterday! Happy and very scared at the same time! How bout you?

That's a nice weight loss! Good for you! Do you have any more to lose or are you about done?

      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
