I'm 67 years old and looking forward to my surgery date. I'm told I probably have about a 2 month wait until everything lines up and insurance gives the go ahead. Until then, I'm slowly eliminating my trigger foods, takong re recommended supplements, reducing intake to at least half my usual amount. I like Premier Protein shakes and taking 2 a day. Lots of Water, which is easy for me as that's my go to when thirsty. I'm committed to doing what it takes to embark on this journey. I'll be there for you as I know you'll be there for me. Reach out and share...

Mine is from St. Elizabeths, Dr. McCluney

All preop assessments and tests will be done mid March. After that, request is submitted to insurance then it's up to them to approve. So if all goes well, late March, or early April. I'm doing my part , the rest depends on others.

You are exactly where I am! All of my stuff is done. I just have my final appointments with the surgeon. I'm hoping to get my insurance submitted April 1st and then get a date from there!

Wishing that all goes according to what and when you want. I've been weighed at every single Drs appt (5 in all), and my weight has a 9 lb difference depending on which scale I get on. I'm going by my new scale at home and I'm happy with that. It's an expensive one that measures bmi, etc. Plus my true weight without clothes and boots is my true weight as far as I'm concerned. ?
