Happy day. My insurance finally saw the light and approved me. I feel like I have won the war. I am so excited to start this new life. One step closer. Now I am just waiting on a date. I can't believe it is really going to happen.

Congrats! I'm excited for you! I was just told today by Aetna that my surgeon and affiliated hospital aren't one of their preferred IOQ facilities, even though they're in network. Otherwise I would've been approved. Apparently there's extra requirements for bariatric surgery under my plan. Smh So my appt with new surgeon is set for May 20th.

Hang in there Dawnie. My insurance just keep adding more and more requirements. I never thought I would see the end. But I made it and you will too.

I am doing ok now. Unfortunately I had some complications. You always think I will be fine those things won't happen to me. But sometimes they do. I won't stress you out with the details. Just know that you will probably have some hiccups along this journey. I thought once I was done fighting with insurance things would get easier. It hasn't. There is always opposition just in different forms. Don't let anything stop you from achieving your dream.

Sorry to hear that. I'm a realist, they told me the risks of complications. Ugh. Well, I'm pressing forward. Do you regret your decision?

No not at all. I just consider it a bump in the road. I am still positive that things will improve again. It is just going to take time and lots of patience. I wish you the best of luck. You deserve this chance at a better life.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      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...
