Congratulations.

I am just now starting the process. How has it been with you? I am a little nervous about the process and getting approved.

Hi smills!

I have a surgery date of Jan. 9, so I'm not too far behind you. My pre op appt is Dec. 28. Need to set up my psych evaluation and nutrition counseling. I'm excited, but a little nervous too. Doing lots of reading and research.

my process has gone fairly quickly. I had a bmi of over 50 so my insurance doesn't require a supervised weight-loss regimen. I just had to do a pre op and post op class..psych eval, chest xray and labs. meet with a dietician twice..in the process I also had a sleep study and found out I have sleep apnea. I just got my cpap on Friday. I also had to lose 10lbs before I met with the surgeon as of today I've lost 26.5

good luck!!

      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! 😞
