Who's my surgery twin??? I got approved on Friday 03/08/2018 I found out before my surgeons office because I called my insurance even though it had only been 3 days that day since the authorization request was put in. To my surprise they had already made a decision by day 2! On 03/12/2018 it was scheduled for April 19. Wow.. I was so excited! Now ofcourse naturally I am also a tad bit nervous for after surgery body reactions. Back in 08/2015 I was 418 lbs found out i am diabetic got on metformin and I decided to lose weight, I lost 138 lbs in a little over a year and my A1C dropped to 5.2. I kept the weight off but by 05/2017 I had gained back around 50 lbs. My August 2017 I decided ok it's time to get the surgery, it all worked out because my insurance requires 3 years of medical documentation, 2 of which have to be documented that I was trying to lose weight which I met this requirement since I didn't start going to the doctor until 2015. I had to do 6 months of monthly weigh ins (really 7 since the first one doesn't count and yeah I know some people wait a year!) But this weigh in process actually got me to the 3 years worth of documentation since my last weigh in wasn't until February 2018. I'm down 111 lbs now so although I haven't been able to get back down 138 lbs I'm back on track but March 17 is my birthday so I'm going to eat some cake while I can! Liver shrinking diet starts on 04/04/2018
