Did your care team instruct you to weigh yourself daily? That would be too much for me to weigh myself daily since our weight fluctuates.

@rickeyb how are you getting home from hospital? Are they allowing you to take a Uber home too?

@Breaking notsobad ?????????

You go gurl you look good! People are very judge mental these days. I haven’t had the surgery still in pre op stage but I plan on telling NO ONE but GOD that I had the surgery!

Yikes I would have anxiety too ?. I would love to know the answer to this just in case I will be in the same boat for my future surgery!

Wow that’s amazing and inspiring Hannah!

Why was it pushed back? Look on the bright side you have a few extra weeks to get your mindset right for this life changing surgery? ??

This was very helpful, thanks for sharing

I am just starting my WLS journey so I have no feedback but will follow this thread. I think I will stay off the scale for the first month after surgery or only get on at my follow up visits. I wish you the best of luck

I’m in the beginning stage ?? and just started the 6 month process in January so I’m praying that my surgery date will be in July

I believe insurance companies have up to 30 days to approve or deny coverage. I would keep checking your member portal every few days. Or call customer service

I hope everything works out and that sucks that they did not confirm with you at the time

@SamProvost which insurance carrier are you with? Are you in the pre op stage?

I’m sorry you’re having a rough time. Im still I’m the pre op stage so I have no feedback ? but I will follow this thread to see what feedback others provide. ????

Timeline thus far and journey to sleeve: - Provider seminar was on 1/27/23 - Consult with surgeon on 1/31/23 - Lab work completed on 2/1/23 - EKG completed on 2/1/23 - EGD scheduled for 4/12 - Prep Op Exam with PCP sched 3/12/23 - 1st nutrition class scheduled 3/14 - 2nd nutrition class scheduled 4/14 ** will schedule my psych exam after my 2nd nutrition class**

Sound like skinny people problems ? just kidding ???

Hi Kim, I have no feedback since I am at the beginning process of getting the sleeve. I pray your procedure is successful and you have a smooth recovery.

@aerick21 that’s awesome how are you feeling?

@Quetta89 that’s awesome! My surgery is in a few months. What is your weight\BMI? I’m hoping my surgeon tell me the same thing ???

I love your excel spreadsheet I might have to copy ?

Good for you! I just started the process in January. When did you start the process?

@cut.the.VS it sounds like we’re both on are way to success! My consultant ion went well! I got my labs, EKG and X-rays today. My nutrition classes start 3/14!

Hello all, I’m a newbie too. My seminar was on 1/27 and my first consult was on 1/31/23. Maybe we will get the surgery around the same time? How was your appointment?

I am with Kaiser of Washington and just had my first provider seminar today 1/27/2023. I scheduled a meeting with surgeon on 1/31/2023 so things are moving quick. I know this will be a 6-8 month program but I am so excited. Question: has anyone out there went through Kaiser of Washington for their weight loss surgery? Please share your experience and how long it took you to get the surgery?
