I began this process on July 1 receiving a letter from my insurance that I had been selected to participate in our state's pilot program for weight loss surgery. I called the surgeon on July 2 and had an appointment for July 7. I went to that appointment and now have surgery scheduled for July 29!! Whew.....:)

Never in a million years did I believe this would ever be possible....I am both nervous and excited, and also amazed at how quickly and smoothly this has gone. I now have to make an appointment for the psych eval, which they told me just has to be done before the surgery date.

I will start the pre-op diet on July 15th of 1 Protein Shake for Breakfast, and for lunch and dinner 3-4 oz. of lean Protein and 1 serving of approved veggies. On July 22, I will start drinking 4 Protein shakes a day, and 2 days prior to surgery, I will start a clear liquid diet.< /p>

I am looking forward to finally having some control over what I eat and why I eat. I will be 40 in December and look at this opportunity as a fabulous "Happy Birthday to Me!!":thumbup:

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
