Hi all! After 3 denials I finally got approved for VSG! My surgery date is 4/19! It'll be here before I know it! Any other ppl scheduled that day?! My surgeon will be Dr Ali at Fountain Valley Regional Hospital in So Cal! Pray for me! ❤️

How cool! liquids for 7 days? I meet with my dr on the 6th... I wonder how long my pre op diet will be. It seems like everything is happening so fast! I'm getting nervous too!! We should keep in touch to see how everything goes! I wish you the best!

My nerves are definitely setting in. I'm even having dreams.

My liquid diet starts on the 4th. Mentally, I'd like to think I'm prepared for it....But I guess one can never know until it actually happens.

First time because I didn't have 6 monthly consecutive weigh ins, 2nd because they weren't happy with my PCPs notes. He has to rewrite them because they were so "basic". The medical group wanted clear and precise notes. The third time, I really don't know why they denied. I went ahead and called my coordinator and medical group telling them I was very upset about the 3rd denial, I clearly need this! 10 mins later I get a APPROVAL call saying that the Medical Director overturned the decision! What a roller coaster of emotions it has Been!

Yes only 7 days.. Not sure why but I'm happy about it.. Lol. It's happening really fast for me too. I had kinda given up on it all in December.. I hadn't really thought much about the surgery since then until I received a call out of the blue to schedule my surgery last Thursday. Now, that's all I can think about. Yes.. Let's keep in touch

      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! 😞
