No date yet, not until after I lose the 20. To be honest I'm afraid it'll be the hardest weight to lose!

Hi if you don't mind me asking which insurance company are you with? I have BCBS Illinois and my surgeon [emoji40] has approved it and states the insurance only requires a pysh an d nutrition class. I see others on here with the same insurance that say they have a 6 month diet and exercise. Im in Georgia so maybe it varies by state.

You may want to call the number on the back of your card and ask what the criteria is to be sure. I did find this info though

      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! 😞
