I have my last set of appointments 4/17/17. After that everything can be submitted, hopefully Aetna is quick about it and I get the approval, if all goes well I could be having mine in May. That was the tentative month they gave me when I first started this process.

Good luck on yours!!!

My Surgery date is May 22. I previously had a lap band which was removed in October after I developed complications. I had initially lost ~60 lbs. with the band but regained it due to the band issues. The insurance specialist initially told me right after removal she didn't think the new surgery would be approved. But we scheduled a follow up for February to at least try. The surgeon submitted with all the backup needed and I was approved right away. Surprised and happy to be getting a 2nd chance. The insurance I have now technically doesn't cover batiatric surgery, but I'm guessing since I had the LB they are considering this medically necessary especially with my other diagnosis'. I have mostly maintained since October. +\-5

I had a cruise booked for April so decided to push the surgery until May.

Wishing now I'd just done the RNY the first time.

Wow yeah im sorry about your complications with lapband but that's so exciting about RNY!! It's still a huge decision to make giving WLS another try and that's really admirable to me. Good luck, I hope all goes well :-)

So exciting, Bekah! How are you feeling so far? I just want to hit the fast forward. I'm just working in my short term disability claim now and that is about it until my pre-op testing. I'm so happy to have a may 1st buddy :)

I'm feeling relieved. I went through a bunch of setbacks with my program. they were short staffed so they kept pushing my expected surgery time out. I was supposed to have surgery in March. I don't think it's hit me that it's actually happening. I submitted my LOA yesterday and am waiting for them to send me the rest of that paperwork. I have my preop appointment on April 21st. I am excited to have it done though.

      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
