So I called the surgeons office today to make sure I had everything in order and that the only thing left to do was my last visit, blood draw and meet with the hospitals nutritionist. The lady there tells me "oh it's just that quick, there's other things that have to happen before we get a date or even submit to insurance." !!!!!&@*#% what "other" things??? I mean F I've been doing everything I was supposed to for the last 6 months!!!!! She just has me worried that I'm going to be drug along even longer than need be!

We didn't gain the weight in six months. Relax and focus on things important in life. Pray, walk, smile. Some people die before ever getting to where we are in life, and I am so happy, even at almost, almost 70 years old. I look at my precious husband, the first time in his life being not fat but NORMAL, and the wait was worth it. God bless.

That is frustrating! Did they (either surgeon's office or insurance) not give you a list of things to be completed before? I wonder if the other thing left is endoscopy or barium swallow and/or the final pre-op (i.e. I had bloodwork, lung xrays and some other stuff all at the same time at my pre-op appointment).

Honestly I do remember the feeling of anticipation and then urgency, and poof, surgery was scheduled (yikes), then done. What a journey!!!!!

I'm getting impatient too. I feel like the extra visits are unnecessary. I have to pay a copay mentioned and Coinsurance every time I go. So when I'm there I want them to do as much as possible they have the barium, psychiatrist nutritionist all onsite. I have to do endoscopy and cardio outside. I need my money for the surgery so I don't play around with excess appointments.

      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?

      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
