Oh it is, it is. After going through another program (Curses be upon Them!) not once but twice, quite a. twisted story there, I joined OSU's and I SHOULD HAVE been there from the beginning back in August 2015. 2 things bad about program# 1
They wasted my time and my insurances money And Secondly,they didn't appreciate me or work with me for success.
But No Never Mind, I'm where I should have gone in the first place and THEY are WONDERFUL!

I had my consultation this morning and per my insurance, I need to do a 4 month diet along with the psych evaluation and lab work for approval. The surgeon recommended me for the RNY which wasn't my first choice but I guess it makes sense considering the amount of weight I need to lose and my lifestyle. Overall, I'm excited for the process, even with my birthday being in the middle of the 4 months.

Congrats on getting your date! I don't have a date quite yet but fingers crossed I get one. Just think, you'll be giving yourself a wonderful birthday present: the start of a new chapter.

I know! Hope you get your date soon too! They were going to schedule me for 9/14 but that was1 day after the season opener for the Bengals (we have season tickets) and there was no way I was going to be on Clear Liquids during that game! Lol! 😂 The rest of the season....sure! But give me one last game. Priorities you know ...😝

      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

      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... :(
