We have the same date! Let's keep in touch. I'm in Tucson AZ. Where are you at? I'm hoping to go from 217 to 140 lbs. how about you? I know a key will be exercising. I'm gonna start walking as soon as I can after surgery. I wasn't gonna tell my boss what kind of surgery I'm having. I'm hoping to just be out of work 2 weeks but we'll see how it goes. I'm not nervous. Just excited. I've been reading a lot about what to expect. Let's keep in touch and check on how we are doing after surgery and progressing with dealing with the eating lifestyle changes. Take care, Cathi

@@blackbenzjeep@yahoo.com Several employers require a 30 day notice for FMLA (elective surgery) so you may want to apply soon.

Woah, I didn't know that. I guess I should find that out ASAP. I'm almost a month out now.

I'm waiting on Aetna to above me. My dr says Aetna and Cigna are the hardest to get approved. I'm hopeful I have a tentative date for October 21.

I suffer the similar health issues. I should get approved. Much luck!

      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! 😞
