I'm tentatively now scheduled 8/1! It's been a very long wait, but I think it's exciting my 6-month anniversary will be New Year's Day 2017!

Hoping for August. My last of my 3 pre-op visits is July 8 then paperwork goes to my insurance co. I'm going to be away the first full week of August, which would have likely been when I would have been scheduled. So I'm likely to start my 2 week pre-op diet on August 8 with surgery sometime in the week of August 22. The only pre-op stuff I will have left at that point, other than meeting with my surgeon, will be to have the special nutrition class.

8/8 for me too, Dr Darius Ameri in Winchester, MA.

I saw him for the first time in October and hoped to have surgery by January, but I went through some really stressful stuff a few months back (chaos surrounding purchasing a fixer upper with a lot of unexpected setbacks, family health issues, unexpected layoff and settling into a new job, etc.) and needed to put the surgery prep on hold to take care of myself. I regret that it took me so long to finish all my pre-op appointments because I was approved less than a week after I completed my paperwork! I could've been 6 months out by now.

Oh well - here we go! Onward and upward. :)

Congrats on your upcoming surgery date! I do not have an exact date yet, I "think" it will be Aug 9th or 16th. I see the surgeon next week for a check in so hopefully I will know something more exact soon.

I'm getting closer y'all...I just completed my EGD yesterday, and according to my patient advocate at my doctor's office, the step next on the agenda is to schedule an attentive appointment date...I'm thinking it will be sometime time in mid or late July or even maybe early August. Right now I'm trying to schedule some nutritional counseling with a bariatric nutritionist...Strangely enough, it is not a requirement on my particular insurance policy and I've already been approved for the sleeve procedure; however, it is something that I feel is important and vital for success in this new journey. So, I'm paying out of pocket for this service as my insurance will not cover out patient diet instruction, but I feel that it is so worth it.

It's starting to feel more real now, but I am excited and ready to get this show on the road, LOL! I will say that I am in the Dallas, TX area, and my doctor is Nick Nicholson from the Nicholson Clinic...Is there anyone on here that is from Texas and is familiar with him?

      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
