Consult on Monday... and I lost weight



Recommended Posts

I am even more worried now that I won't be approved because I don't think I'll make the 100lb overweight mark now. Sad thing is I've been trying to maintain my weight, if not gain about 5 pounds.

However I lost a couple after I started my current job since I'm on the go constantly (nurse). Then somehow in the last week I managed to lose 6 more pounds! What the heck?? Had I been trying to lose, certainly I would have gained.

Cross your fingers that between now and Monday I can get those 6 pounds back.

Sounds like me! I had to gain 6.5 lbs for Tricare to approve me and I ate everything in site (I am a nurse too). I kept loosing weight! I ended up gaining and got approved. At least it is winter and you can wear heavy clothes when you weigh in!

Well the doctor I was supposed to meet, was apparently pregnant and delivered last night. So my appointment has been rescheduled AGAIN. So now I don't go until December 15th.

So here's to some chowin' down at Turkey time....

Still worried I'll be denied. But at least I can say I gave it a shot. And if so, I'll figure something out. I will be a hotter version of me before my husband comes back from the sandbox, one way or another!

When is your hubby coming back home. I am glad those days are over. Mine was always a bear about a month before he left and a month after he returned...and then he would turn around and go again! 8 trips!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
