I'm in Colorado and hoping to use my insurance. I have medicaid through the end of the year so I'm hoping to be able to get it done in time. I've been seeing my PCP to start my medically supervised diet so if they will count my two weigh ins with her then I MIGHT be able to get it done in December. If not then I'm probably going to have to go to Mexico and pay for it with my tax refund.

Well my first appointment apparently has to be reschedule. So I won't be going on July 21st. I'm so sad right now. :(

Ok, so I was originally suppose to have my first visit on August 4th, but someone cancelled and I was moved up to July 21st. I'm so excited and nervous. I stayed up late last night watching YouTube videos of first appts/consultations.

1st appt went great!!! I met my surgeon and he seems awesome. Broke everything down, even drew pictures of the procedure. My insurance only requires 3 months of medically supervised weight loss. So I have 90 days to get all my test done and clearances approved. I'm so sure time will fly by..... oh the dietician wants me to lose 10lbs before surgery. Sounds very doable. I'm super excited!!!!

      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

      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! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
