Hey, buttercup...

just a quick thought....oh first I am so sorry to hear that about your insurance policies and the doctor being booked that is terrible...

Since you have gone that far and everything is set can the doctor guarantee you a date in january if not possible for december...if so?...can you try getting cobra on that insurance....a couple hundred dollars on cobra is still better than self pay...

Plus you will have two coverages so your other new insurer can't exclude for pre-existing....I think...

just a thought.....

hey...big companies...think of all kind of loops....

nothing wrong with us little people trying to find one too!

Just a thought for you to check out!

:paranoid:eek::)

I had my 2nd fill today and so far I am feeling some tightness (fingers crossed that it stays that way for a while)

Jeannie, tomorrow is the BIG day! Good luck with your surgery. I hope you have a speedy recovery. You are in my prayers.

I am so glad you are doing well. I can remember being more sore on the left side than anywhere else. It will take a few days but you'll be as good as new in no time. Keep us posted on your progress. Take it easy.

Hey guys!! Sorry I haven't been on in awhile. I go tommorow for my first fill. I am sooo hoping for some restriction, because right now, I can eat just about anything. I haven't lost any weight in the past week, and I know it is because I have eaten things I shouldn't. I am looking forward to my fill, and getting back on track.

Good luck Slim. I'm sure everyting will go great!!

Buttercup,

THAT IS GREAT!! I knew your situation would work out somehow-- and look how soon it is!! What a relief. Now that you've saved $15,000+ by not having to self-pay, you get to buy yourself a new skinny wardrobe very soon.

Gosh, did you even have time to finish your liquid diet?

      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! 😞
