I go to my last nutritionist appointment on the 22nd. Dr. Appointment today for clearance. Completed the psychological evaluation. Almost to the finish line and I'm so anxious, I'm so ready to get to the submission date. Anybody else this close???

I've complete everything except Upper Gi which is tomorrow morn . My surgery is scheduled for MArch 3 so fingers crossed for insurance approval.

The only thing I'm waiting on is a final meeting with the surgery coordinator, which was supposed to be earlier this week but was cancelled by them due to doc emergency - I'm just waiting on a reschedule. They should be submitting to insurance after that meeting and then hopefully I'll get a surgery date not too far after. I'm getting excited!

February 21st is my last appointment and then everything will be sent in to my insurance for approval. Once my insurance has approved everything I will be given a surgery date for some time in March hopefully. I'm sure praying that all goes well!!!

I go tomorrow for my pre-op class and my final appointment with my surgeon, then all I need is a surgery date and approval from my insurance company and I'm all set.

      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...

      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... :(
