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

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

        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!!
