My medical clearance is my last step before pre=op... I had to see cardiology, pulmonology, gastroenterology, psychology, have 6 months doctor regulated weight loss all before that point....now waiting for insurance clearance....crossing my fingers all clears through for surgery date of 3/19. I am told all they do is go over all the lab work, and other test done by each doctor.....

i did the psychology and my insurance had an option, do 1 yr with the dr or 3 months with the LB dr, so i opted for that. like i said i did the psych, so i guess all the other things u mentioned just need to be done. thats done with one dr right? bc they just told me to go see him and get clearance and have it sent 1 week before which is next thursday and my dr appointment is the day before on wednesday, so i would guess im only going to him, not enough time to see others ya kno? i just want this to be done and the 13th to be here hahaha.

my fingers are crossed to for u and the approval, mine only took a week and a half to approve, how long have u been waiting, hope its fast like mine. good luck and thanks for the feedback. :rolleyes2:

      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! 😞
