Hoping to be an August Bandster



Recommended Posts

Thanks to all of you for the support with my bad news yesterday, all your karma must have helped because all in one day I switched surgeons, whole different medical facility, have an appt for the 29th another one for a week later, and she said if all goes well I should be banded by mid to late August because they are accepting all the pre-surgery things I did for the other place, so I just have to do the seminar on Tuesday and my eval with the new surgeon the next week, and then they will schedule me! Wow that was a really long run on sentence....sorry about that!

Hopefully this all goes smoothly, I would love to be an August All Star!!! Not a September Spud or whatever they are calling themselves. lol

Have a great day!

Jodie :biggrin2:

OMG, are my eyes deceiving me or did you do all your prerequisite appts all on the 8th of July, in one day? That is awesome! I had to take first available for everything and sometimes that was 3-4 weeks later!

Did you get your approval yet???? I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you!

I live about 90 miles from my doctor. So, they had everything scheduled for one day. I thought it was great. But, it was a long day.

I am still waiting for the insurance company to send that approval letter...I have been checking my mail the last couple days! Hoping today will be the day.

They said I should get a letter in 7-10 days. The coordinatoor had all the paperwork send in on 14th so it is now the 10th day!!

Jackie,

I hate when they give you a time frame like that....7-10 days....cause of course you want it the 7th day, and normally it doesn't come til the 11 day. This whole process is hurry up and wait, it better be worth it because I'm getting stressed out! It's getting closer, but not close enough. Until I have my surgery date set, I will not be happy!

I hope you hear from them today.....go check the mail!! I'm excited for you! I'm sure it was a long day for you having all those appts at once, but you got it all done in one big swoop! Very cool!

Have a great day!

      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.

      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! 😞
