As my surgery date approached, and I hate surgery, I just kept telling myself this had to be done just like my gallbladder had to come out, and it put me more at ease. Try to tell yourself you really have no choice in the matter, it just needs to be done, for your health of course. The preop for me was 2-3 shakes a day and 1 low carb meal so it was not that bad, good luck. I am now 7 months post sleeve and down 84lbs.

That's my surgery date I hope if insurance stop tripping. My insurance company is Cigna and the JUST sent me a letter stating that my insurance won't cover it because their medical Dr looked over my medical information and it's not a medical problem in my case so I THINK I'm denied the coverage. I'm pissed. However my bariatric team says that my insurance cleared it. That was 11 am today. Part me wants to tear this letter up and act like I didn't receive it.

      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! 😞
