I am now less than a week away from surgery. Today, I stop all meds like lasix, asperin and such.. I am not looking forward to the day prior... I have a feeling there will be many trips for the bathroom on that day. LOL:lol:

I am both excited and nervous about this whole thing. I hope that is normal.

Tomorrow will be my last supper, so to speak. My wife and I are going out for Asian dining. I can only hope after I will still be able to eat a little asian foods. Time will tell.

So, if this nervous/excited state is a norm... I would like to hear from you.:tongue:

Hi all,

I just scheduled all my appointments for my dietician and psych. All in all, I have to be seen 7 times before I can submit to Medica! Crazy. And all along with a hefty $45 copay!

Anyone know when they will tell me what I have to pay? I have 80/20, so it isnt all covered. but i would like to know what to expect!

THanks!

I have Medica also and Friday is my first appointment so I guess I'll be going thru a similar runaround to get approved.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      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.

        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...
