I am so annoyed by this process!

As a person who has never in life been sickly, had surgery, been admitted to a hospital, this process is beyond my comprehension.

Not only am I dealing with a myriad of doctor's offices and appointments, the medical bills are overwhelming.

I knew the process wouldn't be cheap but I'm just thoroughly pissed off at all of it right now at a point where I'm nowhere near completion of any requirements to even submit to insurance to have surgery...

Do you have someone who could support you through all this. It's overwhelming to do it all alone and I find when I am like that, talking it through with someone and making a list prioitising what i need to do and when really does help.

I understand your frustration. It's a boat load of information and appointments. It's really a major change in your life. Therefore, getting prepared to alter your body requires a lot of necessary paperwork, blood test, etc....These test helped me prepare my body for surgery. It showed me what nutrients my body was missing...Hang in there!!!...I'm sure it will all be worth it....invest in yourself!

In 2 days of testing, I racked up over $25,000 in medical bills, my portion was $1100, but, trust me I understand your pain. It really is about sticking with it! Vent, rant and keep pushing! I'm waiting for my approval now. So I'm still right there with you! It'll work out if you trust the process!

My roommate is going through the process right now as we but her situation is different and less involved but she's definitely a source of support.

Thank you for your response and kind words!

You're definitely right...I'm just in an angry place I guess.

Thanks for the reminder!

      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.

      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! 😞
