I go on December 21st for my first appointment at the University of Chicago, so I'm hoping my surgery--if accepted into the program--will be early 2017.

I am scheduled for gastric sleeve on January 24th, 2017 in Columbus @

THE Ohio State University... GO BUCKS :) I have already been approved by Aetna and just had my pre-op appt with my surgeon yesterday. The surgeons office submitted my short-term disability to my work already today and I've have been approved for that as well. I think life is looking better and better and I am looking forward to springtime/summer with me being more confident in short sleeves and capri's!! One of my short term goals being off work for a while is hoping for more energy is to clean my closet. I am sick of the clutter, the shoes that fell on the floor and no energy or desire to clean it out bc I'm tired, lazy, and nothing fits anyways. I will have "new to me" clothes as I lose weight... out of my own closet ;).


Can someone tell me how you start a new topic on bariatric pal? I can't figure out how to do it on my computer or on my iphone app. I'm lost! LOL

Mine is scheduled for March. Haven't scheduled the exact day yet but I am planning on a vacation to Disney before hand. Can't wait! Thankfully with my insurance I only had to wait 4 months from consult to surgery!

Yay! Congrats

When you are on the regular forum, there should be a pencil in the lower corner of you are using your phone to view. That will allow you to start a new topic

      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!!

        So proud of you Cat. Getting into those smaller size clothes is half the fun isn't it?. Keep up the good work!!!!

      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... :(
