Thanks so much for your reply @@sweitzer2148 ! OWLS called me Friday to setup my first set of appointments so I meet w/ dr Patterson on 12/13 and then the nutritionist on 1/6. After those appts they are going to submit for approval with my food logs and gym login records. My policy is very vague as to what the accept for the 6 month rule, so we're taking our chances, and if they do end up requiring the full 6 mo. at least we will have gotten started!

I am in the Portland area and had my sleeve on May 9th. Down 4 dress sizes from woman and now into petite sizes. Worth it!

I know this is an old post but I thought I would chime in and say hi to the other Portland Oregon people! My surgery date was April 21st and so far I've lost 23 lbs...Very happy!
I am wondering if anyone knows of a local support group. The one on meetup.com seems totally dead. Their last meetup was in September.

This is the closest thing I could find to a support group. The last post talks about a group that meets quarterly. https://www.bariatricpal.com/index.php?/topic/303025-OR---Portland

      Happy Wednesday!
       
      I hope everyone is having a lovely week so far! 
      It's been a bit of a struggle this last week...I'm hungry ALL the time.

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
