You gals prompted me to call my insurance and I was approved too! Waiting for surgeons office to call with a date. Insurance company told me my date was 2/22 but I’m not sure if that’s true or not. Omg this is really happening!!!

So my husband has been approved too, but his authorization letter hasn't been processed yet. So I have to wait for that to schedule mine, since we're having it done together.

I'm so excited for all of us!!

Michigan 3: after the abortive attempts since today was Social Security day decided to go pay bills etc. When i got home there had been a call back,from hospital scheduling. Wouldn't you know they had closed,and won't be back until Monday at 7AM. Now I can screw myself up all,weekend,about what THIS person will say. I might,not,need surgery,if I commit hari kari in the next 3 days.Calgon take me away!

On January 18th my nutritionist says they were just waiting on my psych evaluation then they'd be submitting it to my insurance, I had my evaluation on Jan 16th which went great he said it was the shortest evaluation he'd ever done and it wouldn't take him long to write it up. So hopefully they got it already. I have another nutrition /Trainor apt Feb 8th so hopefully I'll know more. I'm getting anxious.... So close! It consumes my every thought. I think I'll feel more relieved when I get the actual approval.

      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!!

        So proud of you Cat. Getting into those smaller size clothes is half the fun isn't it?. Keep up the good work!!!!

      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... :(
