Hello everyone I was told that I would have to wait until late May at best but probally June for my date. I just got approval after fighting with Cigna for over 6 months. Finally after appeal they approved the procedure. I am really scared but I really want to get it over and started so I can start living my life instead of watching everyone else living theirs. I have type 2 diabetes ans I am truely hoping that this will make that go into remission.

Welcome everyone!

Lisa65: I'm in Ohio too! I'm a bit north of you (unless you don't live in Cincin). I've been going to group meetings with other Ohioans in Columbus...great group!! PM me if you want to come along. I drive 2 hours to go, it's worth it and you get to meet ppl from here!

I'm in Dayton, Ohio....going thru Dayton Bariatric - hopefully in April. It's been 1 week since they submitted everything to UHC. I'm anxious to get this show on the road!

Looks like we will have quite a few Ohio April Avengers! It's exciting to know we have others who are close by. Maybe we can all meet up in person some day!

Turler - thanks for the offer of joining you. I was having trouble posting earlier and couldn't write all I wanted to, I kept losing it and finally went with a one liner, then it worked! Anyway, I know Dr. Curry has support group meetings at his office, but I'm not sure if they are only for his patients. I plan to find out. His office is only about 45 minutes away from me. He is on the northern end of Cincinnati.

Anyway, I go for my nutrition class on April 10th. I'm guessing I will get my 2 weeks of Medifast meals then. I'm actually pretty ready for that I think - just ready to get the show on the road!

      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! 😞
