Itsme! 98 Posted February 19, 2013 I'm hoping to be in April. I'm 38, 5ft 9 inches. I live just notth of Seattle. My high weight was 304 in November. Yesterday I was 276 (yay insurance-required diet !). I wear 1-2x shirts and yesterday wore a pair of size 20 jeans for the first time in months. I just need to do one more NUT appt next week then we'll submit to insurance! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jen.D 10 Posted February 19, 2013 I'm also hoping to be in April. I've done the psych eval, the NUT appt, and 3 months of "monitored weight loss" visits with the nurse practitioner at my surgeons office. I go back this Thursday and that should be everything needed to file with Insurance. I have NO idea how much it will cost me out of pocket, but unless it's crazy high, I will be an April sleever!

My procedure will be at Princeton hospital in nj by dr chau I am hoping to have my surgery April 17th, but still wailing to hear from insurance. My paperwork was submitted on 2/15. I had my EKG, all my blood work and tests and I had that test to see how liquid travels. I am feeling a bit anxious, but reading about everyone else on here has been quite comforting. Congrats to you! I am 5"5, weigh 241 and wear a size 16. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Khloé 89 Posted February 20, 2013 Me! I'm scheduled for April 8th in Dallas. My highest weight was around 391 but I've lost about 40 lbs on my own since then. Ideally I'd like to weigh between 150 an 170. That is kind of my goal. I'm 5'3" so I think that'd be a good weight for me after a lifetime of being overweight.
