Gonna hold you to it. Latest update in the Frustr8,saga. I am finishing up,a mandated 30 electronic tabulation of 4hour+ usage every 24 hours of C Pap usuage. When I had my testing prior to receiving the c Pap I had a high rate of apnea incidents per hour. I had been a faithful user until,my PCP had me stop,because of my sinusitis, when the records were pulled there was the gap. So there,had to be the darned 30 days again.The records get faxed,early July 2nd, Jessica goes on vacation stsrting7/3 through 7/6, so she turns them over,to Valerie,the CNP, after she processes them I should know when my date is 7/9 I suspect,July15-20, lets see how close I am! So you start baking the virtual cake and I will let you know when I'll take delivery. Do you realize I sought this since August 2015, almost 3 years. A mama eleghant could have had a baby and half in that Time period. A long time coming but Oh So sweet when,it comes to fruition.

I’m so excited, I had my second visit with the Cardiogist. There was a little bleep on the 1st and 2nd EKG’S, so I had to have a Sonagram a week and a half ago!
My follow up was this morning! The dr said I have the heart of a 20 yr old. Pretty good for a 68 yr old, too bad my body feels like an 80 yr old!😂
Tomorrow morning I’m calling the Bariatric dr to see how soon I can have my surgery scheduled! Be nice the end of July but I doubt it. Seems like the merry go round turns slow sometimes! But I’m still getting excited!

Just a quick update: I’ve gotten the green light from psych and the nutritionist, attended the first 5 months of appointments, 2 support groups meetings, have an EGD scheduled for August 9th and my 6th month appointment July 24.

I still have to lose 13 more lbs before I see the surgeon otherwise I’m told he’ll tell me to try harder and come back later. 😒 I’ve checked so many boxes off, this just seems like a slap in the face and the hardest one yet. Still hoping to get my RNY before the first day of Fall.

      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! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.
