Almost there I hope



Recommended Posts

Hi all. I've been around here for about 8 months reading and posting here and there. I've done everything needed aside from pre op testing. Waiting on sleep study results. From reading my Aetna coverage- if I'm understanding it correctly- I will be covered 100% but be responsible for $150 a night at hospital . I'm so upset that I haven't lost anything during this pre op time. Ok 5 lbs. I keep asking the dr office for a tentative date. Apparently I'll get one once I meet with the surgeon again. I've read so much on here. I would like to think I'm ready but still nervous. I know it's normal. I've had one surgery in my life. Gallbladder removal. I hope it's like that. Painful at incisions but that's it. I've been enjoying everyone's stories and successes and I can't wait to be on the other side.

Waiting is so frustrating, especially when all you want is to know WHEN it's going to happen! Hopefully it's this year or very early next year! When is your appointment with your doctor?

You can do all the reading in the world and still be nervous! it's major surgery, and being a little scared is completely normal. I journaled for the month or two prior and it really helped me work through it! ❤️ keep us updated!

I'm going to my last dietitian and therapy session today. It's been a 6 month process for me. My weight has fluctuated the 6 month bc it's just been a trial and error of finding out what I need to do to be proactive in my weight loss journey. Congratulations on getting this far! You're almost there!

I go see the surgeon again in 12/10. By then I assume my sleep study results will be in and I can get a date. I think st this point I may want to wait until early January as with everyone's vacation schedule it might be hard to get in before

Oh No! I don't envy your pre op diet. My Dr only requires 1-2 days. Good luck on your surgery. Keep us updated!

      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
