Today I had my initial consult with the surgeon and I'm definitely anxious now! So I have a few things I have to get done, 6months pcp supervised diet, psych eval, my initial labs, and surgeon wants me to do a sleep study. (Cause my weight but also because I'm always up every couple hours a night) then within 90 days (of surgery) I have to get pulmonary and cardiology clearance. So I'm completely excited. My insurance I have right now, I would have to do a WHOLE year of supervised diet, but I'm switching to a different plan when open enrolement is (febuaryish) so then it'll only be 6months. I'm really happy to start this journey! I'm only 21 and have high risk for diabetes heart disease and a ton of other health problems so I'm taking control of my life! I already have high blood pressure, have had asthma since I was 6months old and possibly sleep apnea! I really cannot wait this surgeon is compassionate and I'm so happy I found him! 6 to 9 months and ill have my surgery and start moving on with leaving behind this old me! So right now I weigh 326lbs (I range btwn 325 to 336... 2 weeks ago I was 334 so my weight fluxuates a lot lol) I'm happy and excited, good thing is my insurance takes my bmi from this initial consult with surgeon so even if I lose 30lbs before I have surgery this use the weight and bmi from today! :-) so I'm just so anxious and happier than ever! I just cannot wait till it gets closer to the 6 months so I can get a surgery date! Whoohoo! Haha ok so now I'm done blabbering on I'm just soooo excited!

      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.
