Hi Guys!

I just got my approval letter, and I am officially getting sleeved on September 14th! Anyone else getting sleeved on or around that day?!

Hi all. I am 9/19/16. Anxious and ready. I am 48 year old and have battled pcos since my mid 20's.

Sw 276

Cw 269 (and not budging)

Goal. To eliminate all diabetes meds and improve my health. And of course want to lose some weight along the way.

My husband is getting sleeved too. He hasn't got his date yet but he is hoping for November.

Still waiting for the final approval from Cigna. But they set my date. Cigna not easy even with the uncontrolled diabetes. High blood pressure. Severe sleep apnea and pcos. First letter of denial because not medically necessity? Crazy! I KNOW it will get approved.

Glad to see some September sleepers out there. Live in and love this site.

As long as I have no problems with my insurance I am supposed to get a September date. My last pre-surgery appointment will be August 8th. Then it is just a matter of getting the paperwork done. All of my testing is finished and hopefully this will be a smooth process.

I know!! While I'm not super excited for the liquid diet. I am ready for a new part of my life to begin and maybe for my boobs to get smaller lol. But we will definitely be staying in touch.

Definitely not looking forward to the liquid diet. I have to do two weeks before (and two weeks after, obviously)

@@cheneisew @finding_onederland it's weird because my surgeon didn't give me a full liquid diet, (I'm not complaining) LOL but I will have two weeks of 2 small meals with one Meal Replacement shake, and then all liquids 48 hours before.

Are you guys getting nervous? I go from crazy excitement to a ball of nerves!

I've been postponed twice, my "new" date is 9/19. I'm probably the only freak on the planet super excited about starting the liquid diet since I've had my hopes dashed and had to rework my life around the changing dates.

Bring on 9/19 and a new way of life!

      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?

      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! 😞

        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... :(
