Thank you @Frustr8. That made me giggle. Here is a pic where you can really tell. August 2018 on the left at today is on the right.

This is my latest before and after.

Meg, yes 208! 207 as of today. I am doing soo good. I had my surgery done at Piedmont Hospital in Atlanta and stayed for one night. No one can prepare you for the first few days after surgery though. It was pure hell for me but I stuck to my plan and pulled through. I’m 11 weeks out and down 38 pounds. I can say that I do not deny myself of anything at this point but bread and sodas. Regardless of what I eat, I am full after 3 bites but I have taught myself to eat throughout the day which has been my biggest struggle. I take my vitamins, drink water and exercise when I can. I will post a pic of before and now. I have my next appointment with my nutritionist in next month and I see my surgeon again in March.

I have BCBS and live in GA. I had my first Dr. visit in January 2018 and had sleeve surgery August 2018. My doctor gave me a checklist of things to do that was required by insurance and it would pretty much qualify you for the procedure. I weighed 247 w/ 40 BMI and also had high cholesterol and sleep apnea which were both documented. If you loose weight between visits, I don’t think they will deny you just because of that. That’s a good thing. I lost in between visits and it was never an issue. I was with Kaiser before switching and tried so hard to loose weight and everything I did and all the meds I took were documented and accepted by BCBS because it was within the last 12 months. I switched to BCBS just for the surgery because Kaiser wouldn’t cover it. SW 245 CW 208 GW 160

Taking 6 weeks because I am giving my mental health a rest too. I work in the legal field and once I go back it's back to the 100%. Was sleeved on 8/6 and finally cleared for soft foods today!

I'm 2 days post op as well and I feel horrible.

My date is August 7. The struggle is real with this pre op diet. At home, I'm content but at work I am loosing my mind. It's a mental thing with me. I've learned to freezer the chocolate premier protein shakes and it actually in its own way tastes like a yoo-hoo. Good luck to everyone.

Me too!!!

My date is August 7. Seems like a dream but it's really going to happen!
