Hello. I am new to the group. Last week my wife and I went to an informational meeting with a surgeon. The doctor recommended we have the gastric sleeve. Our first one on one meeting is next Friday. I am so nervous. I have been obese my entire life and morbidly obese for the past 8 years. We are in Ohio and have united health care insurance through state medicaid. I have called the insurance and they do cover bariatric surgery. I am anxious to get started on the 6 months diet or whatever the surgeon requests. I just wanted to say hello.

Welcome to the group! I would make sure to do all your own research about the different options and be prepared to discuss / ask questions you go see the dr. Make a list of questions. It helps when you get in there.

Good luck!

      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! 😞
