Hello from Alabama



Recommended Posts

New to posting but been reading and researching the forums for quite some time. I began my journey with the supervised weight loss program in January and had went to a seminar in June. My first appointment with the surgeon was in August. I had my sleep study, psych eval and nutritional consult in September. My insurance was approved on Oct 6th, only 3 days after the request was submitted(Highmark BCBS). I have a surgery date scheduled for November 17th with Dr. Miles at St. Vincent's East in Birmingham, AL.

Congrats on your approval. I was banded by Dr. Miles on May 6, 2008. It has been a great experience so far with few issues. Dr. Miles is a great surgeon and you will be in great hands. This site is a great place for questions and inspiration. Look forward to seeing your progress!

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
