I had my second dietician appointment today..lost 7 lbs! I have a letter of support (tomorrow), endoscopy (June 15), and my last dietician appointment (July 6), then it's off to the insurance company for pre-approval!

Fingers crossed I have no issues getting a letter of support, and I don't drop anymore weight (I have to maintain or I drop my BMI to 39).

Penciled in tentatively for July 23rd or July 30th.

Started this Journey May 10th, man it's going fast!

Man, I'm jealous! I had my first real appointment way back in early January, and I'm not even to my next surgeon's appointment yet... I don't see him again until mid July! I guess it's just the product of being in a very small market with only a few surgeons, all of whom take vacations in the summer. But I'm ready to go and still thinking, will it be late summer? Will it be the fall? Will it ever happen?

Congratulations on getting there quickly, hope it all goes great. :)

I think the only reason mine went quick was because my insurance has no "waiting period", and I got everything done ASAP. They scheduled everything for me (excpet psych). I just got my letter of support, so my 2 lasts are the endo and my 3rd nutrition visit. I have to call tomorrow to make my pre-op pcp medical clearance. My new and official date is July 25. Fingers crossed I don't drop any weight between now and then.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
