I just noticed a post of yours and saw that you were from Bridge City. I live in Lumberton. I was going to use Dr. Speigel but switched to Dr. Spivak in Baytown. I'm getting ready to re-submit my claim. I was denied with Dr. Speigel. I liked him and all but I don;t think he was complying with my insurance. They were asking for additional information and weren't getting it. I have found out from the insurance what they need and have almost all of it to send in. Do you know of any local support groups around here? I'm supossed to go to one in Houston this Saturday but I'm sick right now and going to the doctor today. I will have to wait to see how I feel by the weekend. If you want to e-mail me sometimes you can. My e-mail address is falbc@lit.edu. That is my e-mail address at work. It's nice to see some local bandsters. I can't wait to join all the other bandsters.

I don't know any support groups around here. I have heard good things about Dr. Spivak. Have you followed up with Dr. Speigel's office staff? I really like the Dr and the staff. My first Dr's appt was August 1 and I had the surgery on August 20. Keep in touch with me and keep me updated on your process. Good Luck!

I sent the paperwork to Dr. Spivak's office today for them to re-submit. I hope it works this time. If not I will switch insurance to one that I know will cover it.

      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.

      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 ๐Ÿฅณ๐Ÿ˜ญ. 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! ๐Ÿ˜ž
