My Story

I started this whole wls process back in May/June. August 17th I received my letter from OSU stating that my case had been reviewed and I have been approved for surgery. In September I received my letter from the insurance company that I had been approved and my surgery was medically necessary. I took 4 nutrition classes in September and received my surgery date on October 16th. I now have a surgery date of November 7th!! I am very excited, a little bit nervous, but mostly excited.

I am 4 1/2 weeks post-op now. My surgery date was changed to November 8th because the doctor had a kidney stone the day of my surgery and wanted to make sure he was over them before beginning another surgery. Everything seems to be going great since surgery.

I am now 10 weeks out from surgery. I have lost 39.6 pounds and 34 inches from head to toe!!. I had a scope last week due to a stricture. It is better now and things are going great again.
