We love Texas too. I never felt at home until we moved here. [emoji3590] If you can take your first nutrition class the same day as your appointment get it done! It's a pain and only on Fridays. I haven't done mine yet, I need to get that done lol

That is exactly how I felt when I moved here.

Was that the only requirement. I hope it is the same for me. Is the nutrition class only 1 day? Let me know what day did you schedule yours?

I think mine is scheduled for the 27th of August right now. I want to change it though. If u wanna go together let me know!!

You do have to watch the videos I believe there are 6 and 5 of them you can watch from home after the first one in the office which is the one they only do on Fridays.

Yes he actually sent me some along with a letter and stuff. I am going to try to do it sooner. Like the 20th or so. So I can have more time to watch the videos. I believe the videos start at 1030 and are every hour until 3.

Haha you did better than me. As soon as they cut open I was all NOPE! [emoji23][emoji23] He will ask about it when you see him. He gives warnings on his videos that it gets graphic ahah I thought I could do it. Haha nope. He will check your liver during the visit to like push on the belly. It was nice they even let me bring my fiancé and weren't weird about having two people.

You know I'm not sure. That's all I needed for cash pay was to have the high bmi [emoji45]. I'm new too:) I got to pick my date. I was told dr. Pilcher does surgeries on Tuesdays, if you use him. I'm not sure how different that would be with insurance to be honest.

Welcome!!!! And that is what my insurance told me too. I have my consultation with surgeon on the 6th so I will find out then if there are any requirements. As far as dates.... depends on requirements I think.

      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
