I AM APPROVED!

I called the ins. co. today ( I have been calling 2x a day lately) and the rep. told me that the letter was being mailed today.

I called surgeon's office and I have a band date of Sept.9 , holla!

Thank you all for your prayers.

FYI: it took approx: 2 1/2 weeks to get approval. (not bad considering they lost some of my info.)

You need to go buy your little black inspiration freakum dress for the holidays

Hmmm I have been eyeballing this dress at babyphat.com and I really really want it, although I can't fit it yet (not even close, I don't have a band yet). I'm sure it will be sold out by the time I lose the weight. The dress is 69.00 you guys think I should buy it now for inspiration?

YEP! go buy it.....so when it's 97 degrees and 95% humidity and you don't want to work out....the dress can give you a little push in the right direction.

Angel... you better buy that dress and hang it in the front of your closet for inspiration. I recently joined the gym and was working out on the stepper and was tired (it was the last of three machines) my goal was 15 minutes each and I tell you that third machine after two minutes I was beat. But I closed my eyes and kept saying "skinny body, skinny body, skinny body) and finished my last 15 minutes.....LOL

April..my six months is up on September 3rd..so I'm right behind you. My plan is to schedule my nutrionist appointment on September 3rd and Surgeon Appt on Sept 4th..Do I sound pressed ....

      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! 😞
