Hi! I’m new to this app and I’ve just started getting my ducks in a row. I’ve turned in my 6 month diet form to my insurance, UHC, (my dr backdated as she knew I’ve been dieting forever now haha. I have my physc evaluation this Wednesday and my surgeon consultation with dr. Cahill on March 18th. I’m wondering if anyone has had experience with him? I’m so anxious to find out how long the wait will be after our first consultation.

Please forgive any typos.. this is black on black for me so I’m typing blindly 😅

Hello! Dr. Cahill is my surgeon and my insurance didn't have a 6 month waiting period. But it took me about 6 months to get my surgery date because I had to get in for the Cardiologist and Psych evals, etc. My Surgery date is Feb. 25, 2020 and I'm very nervous. I live a. Hour away from Dyer but I chose Cahill bcuz he's very experienced and I have family that he did WLS on.

Really still took 6 months? I was hoping it wouldn’t be as long since I had that knocked out. Im working on my patience lol.

So exciting for you tho!! I’m about 40 minutes from Dyer. I had to go to him because my insurance wanted me to go to a Bariatric center of excellence. My first appointment is March 18 with him. I have my psych evaluation this Wednesday!

@thick_thighs73 were u mostly waiting on getting in for your other appointments then or was there a wait for him?
I'm so sorry. I didn't realize U replied. I need to see if there are notifications for this app. Yes most of the waiting for me was being able to get appts with The other Doctors.

I'm soooo nervous. My surgery is on Tuesday. I need to stày off some of the FB groups bcuz some of the horrible complication stories are making me 2nd guess my decision.

How was ur surgery? My 1st night was rough but it's much better now. I'm having bad gas pains and Constipation. But I'll be going home today. I've been up and walking but that doesn't seem to help me with the pain.

Hi, I just found this app today. I was wondering if your on HipPlus? I have Anthem w them & was wondering how do I get started. I too am from Northwest Indiana & trying to find out info., I'm so miserable with myself & all my dieting & failed losses & gains, its depressing me. Maybe you can share some of your story or direct me to any info or refer doctors in Indiana. Thank You so much for your time. Good luck to you, I hope all goes well.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      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! 😞
