Post Op two Month Update
Feb 28, 2011
My surgery went great! No complications. No pain just very nausaes for 24 hours after the surgery - probably meds.
My energy is great. I have lost 40lbs. I think I should have lost more but I am adjusting to not eating as much (still try to poke it in some times - and puke!) and not eating junk (like carbs) because I do not have the dumping issue....
I am not excersing regularly - and I know that would help speed this process up....
I miss how a large meal made me feel....but I am slowly getting over this. Food(overeating) was how I coped with stress! Finding another way to deal is slowly getting easier.

I can't believe my surgery is only 17 days away. I am so exicted. I want to thank all my OH friends for their support!

Really?

Now I am getting closer to my date to meet with the surgeon I am getting a lot of negative comments from some around me. Like
* you know I work with someone that knows three people that have had that surgery and they all gained all their weight back*
The comments are hurtful and they fill me with lot's of seff doubt. I am looking for long term statistics and ways to counter-comment when someone hits me with these type of comments. I don't think that they are tring to be hurtful I think they are just scared for me to have the surgery....
I know this is what I need to DO!!!

I am attending a seminar Thursday night. How long does the process take with Cigna insurance in the Memphis area? I can't find any information on what to expect as far as getting approved by insurance.
