I am so excited! I got my approval today, I never thought it would happen. Of course I was so negative and thought I would be denied. Oh my gosh I can't believe I am almost at the final step! Within the next 4-6 weeks I will be banded! It was so worth going through everything to get to this point!! Ahhh I am anxious!!!!

:clap:Yeah for all of you!!! What an exciting time. If I may ask, how long did it take to get an answer once your package was submitted? I am currently waiting to hear from my insurance & can't help but wonder how long it will take.

Congrats, Bandsters-to- be! I was approved last Friday and will be banded on July 7. My insurance was really quick. It was submitted and approved in the same day. The lady that files insurance for my surgeon said that I have really good insurance. Since I am a teacher, I suppose that is the upside to being so underpaid. :thumbup:

I have chronicled most of my journey in my blog here on LBT. To get to it, I think you just click on my photo. If not, post and let me know. I'll try to figure it out.

Hi there!! Good luck to you!!! Are you self-pay or will you be using insurance? I think if you are self-pay it tends to go quicker, because insurance usually have certain requirements, as mine I had to have a letter from my physician, and I had to follow a 3-month supervised diet and have a psych evaluation. From the time I started with Dr. appointments, testing, etc. I started all that in November and just was now approved for surgery on the 17th, given a surgery date today.

      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.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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?

      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! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
