Hi everyone, I'm in the Asheville area. 28 f not sure if I mentioned that already. I'm probably looking at November or December to have my surgery because my insurance requires several appointments prior, have to have a sleep study and several other tests before hand. I'm so glad u all reached out, it's so encouraging to know we are all on this journey and have this wonderful support system!

I am 48 years old and in Chapel Hill, have done psych eval and have surgeon appt and other tests on July 14. No insurance waiting period for me, hoping for an August date.

Which centers are you all using, and who is your surgeon?

I am going through Duke, with Dr. Yoo.

I live in rocky mount!!! I'm going thru Nash and Dr Mann will be my Dr.. I'm still early in the process... Next week is my psychological appt then the 20TH is my second nurtrional appt then august 11 is my cardiac appt.. Then I'll finally get an appt with the surgeon.. At that point we will see what he says and submit.. Right now I'm a few pounds under 40 bmi.. And I don't have any comorbities that bcbs wants to recognize.. I am on Bp meds but not the highest dose.. I do have chronic pain and last year had to get my knees replaced at 44 yrs old due to horrible osteoarthritis.. So we will see what happens.. I'm believing that I've had this on my heart so long and finally pursued it.. I'm praying I make it to the end

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      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!!
