Maybe just call and ask them. I'm not sure what their guidelines are about that. I'm planning on going too.

Lucky once approved by insurance what did you have to do any more blood or other tests?

Once I was approved, they set me up for my final appt with the surgeon to set up the date, which was less than two weeks after that last appt. Once at the hospital, they took blood for some tests.

How's everyone doing? I'm feeling frustrated because I'm still on a stall. Looking forward to the support group tomorrow morning. Maybe it'll readjust my head a bit. Hope you all have a great weekend. Looks like gorgeous weather! I'm going to take advantage of it and spend some time outside.

Hang in there Lucky look at it this way if you lost at least 20 lbs that's 5 lbs a week when have we ever lost that much in a week. Lol What is the topic of group tomorrow do you know? I'll be there I'll be the one with my grand baby and a stroller. Praying she's good so I can stay.

True, I've never lost 5lbs a week lol. This whole thing is such a mental rollercoaster. Mental health and stress eating is the topic. Should be a good one. I'm not sure what I'll be wearing lol but I'll look for you. :-)

      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.

      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

      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! 😞
