    I had Medicare through UHC and was approved the same day! They didn't waste time. However, my Dr office was slow and I waited 2 months, 1 week to have my surgery. Good luck!

    13 Days Until Sleeved!

    Hey guys, Just popping in the forum to say I am going to be sleeved 06/26/19! I am beyond excited and so ready for this magnificent lifestyle change/journey. I am on day 1 of my 2 week pre-op cleanse and it is hard but I am so determined. For anyone who is unsure if they are ready for the surgery I say make sure you know this is what you want. I was supposed to be sleeved in November but I realized I just wasn't ready for this commitment and post-poned my surgery. I also thought at one point that I just wasn't going to go through with it at all. After months of research and self reflection I am proud to say I am ready to be sleeved. This is such an exciting journey and good luck to all of my June sleevers! ❤️

    Nervous

    Busy GastricSleeve Day. Tomorrow is going to be a busy day. I have 3 appointments 1 is not for the sleeve. I go to see my own therapist first appointment, then nutritional class and then the psychiatric testing results , this is the one I am nervous and worried about. I so hope I pass with all my issues.

    Walking for now at your own pace. I started to walk on the treadmill one week after surgery for 30-40 mins. I tried the elliptical at 2 weeks out but did not have the strength and stuck to the treadmill. I am 6 weeks out and started spinning 2 weeks ago and the elliptical machine is a breeze. I am waiting for clearance for weights next week once I see my medical team on Wednesday. Congratulations and good luck.

    Am I getting enough calories

    nope - you're fine. DO NOT worry about your rate of weight loss. For one thing, they pumped you full of IV fluids at the hospital. It takes a few days for that to work its way out of your system. For another, rate of weight loss is a very individual thing, depending on many factors - gender, age, starting BMI, metabolic rate, etc. It's way too early to even tell what your rate of weight loss is, in fact. Once you start dropping weight, though, keep in mind that your commitment to your program will have an INFINITELY greater effect on your ultimate success than your rate of weight loss will. I was a slow loser from the get-go, but I really stuck to my program and lost 100% of my excess weight. I know several others who have as well. You really have no control over your rate of weight loss - the only thing you have control of is whether or not you stick to your program. And the weight WILL come off if you stick to your program. For now, just focus on getting in your protein and your fluids and try not to worry about how fast or slow you're losing weight!
