ahh I see! I hear ya though!!! yes i bet you hear something by the end of this week! BCBS seems to answer in that time frame.

I am worried about one thing though , when I called today, I asked if it said anything about duodenal switch and they couldn't tell but then said it stated lap sleeve and some other medical terms. I am nervous about that! I am hoping my case manager at my surgeons office put in the right operation to be approved!!! Ughhhh .. but I worry like crazy so I hope I am wrong and thats not the issue.

Well when do YOU think you'll be visiting the Slice and,Dice parlor? Commonly known as the operating room. I'm guessing March 14-20 but it's obvious in my own life I'm p*** poor about predictions. Look at my wavy road to,my RnY, I may take a bowie knife, a lighted makeup mirror and some 30 test fishing line and perform my,own surgery. Oh yeah I've got John's (the late lamented) big Swingline stapler in the bedroom next to the computer. Yeah I've got a terabyte+ computer. Tomkitten has operating custody, he says I keyboard too rough. Put his hands on his hips and proclaimed"Mom Its not an old Underwood Upright!" He wants to do it fine, at least I don't get into trouble,like Proud Grammy. Alex Brecher, Spectrum and Ms P.G. are going to end up,in a 3way conference call one of these days, So I use my smartphone for Bariatric Pal.l am but a simple soul when it comes to the internet.

Hi MNgirl,

I’m in MN too😊. Where will you have your surgery? I’m going to United in St. Paul or Abbott Northwestern in Mpls, depending on which site can schedule me for surgery with Dr. Svendsen the soonest. I have 2 appts left with the dietitian and the psych appt left. Hope you hear from your doctor soon!

      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
