Anyone get sleeved in May?



Recommended Posts

@@kmorri - This journey began for my back in January. I have had to go to monthly appointments for 3 months with surgeon and nutritionist and either lose or maintain my weight. If I had any gain, I would have had to start the 3 month cycle over again. This is month 3. Nutritionist tomorrow and surgeon Wednesday. All will be submitted to insurance on Wednesday. I have already taken the course and done all of the other tests so it looks like Wednesday is my last hoop.

I would hardly say I am "healthy" but compared to others 110 lbs overweight, I am moreso :-)

My husband hasn't yet given his stamp of approval on a NY surgery in one of the best surgical units in the United States. If he knew I was in touch with Mexico, he would have a stroke!!!

@@leahhindi I'm so glad I didn't have to do the supervised weight loss program! My insurance removed that requirement last year. So far I've attended the initial seminar, had a consultation with the surgeon, and a consultation with the surgery coordinator, hospital pre-admission chest x-ray, and swallow test (found out I have a hernia and narrowing of my esophagus).....This Wednesday, I have my psych eval, NUT consult, and another consult with surgery coordinator, ........I'm hoping she will be able to give me at least a tentative surgery date, but I will probably be disappointed because I know they're not submitting to my insurance until after this 2 hour class I have to take on the 25th. So far all she's said is "sometime in May." Let me know how it goes for you on Wednesday.

I haven't even gotten "sometime in May" yet! I am just assuming that based on the fact that all will be submitted to my insurance on Wednesday--but who knows for sure?

The first 2 of the 3 months were extremely difficult just not to gain weight. I certainly wasn't losing any real weight. I think I went down 1 lb in 2 months. But ever since I found this message board I have been much more motivated and have been trying to adapt to what the post-op diet will be so have lost 6 lbs over the last 2 weeks. Very happy with this loss. Feel like my head is on a bit straighter than it had been.

WEDNESDAY, COME ALREADY!!!

@@leahhindi I can't fall below 40 BMI before they submit to my insurance so I'm really glad I didn't have do any sort of diet.....that would be tough to loose just the right amount and make sure not to gain....geee if I had that much control over my weight I probably wouldn't be having this surgery...hahaha

Feeling so relieved, im really excited about my choice to have my surgery in Mexico but the only thing I was worried about was having a bariatric doctor to go to for my aftercare instead of just a general doctor. But I was just able to secure a bariatric doctor from blossombariatrics that will see me for all my follow up care, I feel so relieved.

      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
