I can't believe it finally happened. I got my surgery date! Got approved by insurance for one surgeon, had to change to another surgeon (and hospital) and had to resubmit all information a second time to insurance. what a hassle! But it's over and done. Start pre-op diet tomorrow and have surgery on March 1st! Thank you Lord!

Congrats and good luck with your surgery! I was denied the first program I tried to go through, because of my health insurance, but switched companies and went with a new doctor! My file was submitted to insurance on Friday and I am really hoping to have an answer within the next week or two. How long did your insurance take to approve?!

Again, good luck!

I have United Health Definity. Paperwork was faxed Friday afternoon and got the approval today (Monday). I had a very helpful nurse pushing it all day!

Good for you! That is wonderful news. I am sure you must be relived that all the foot work is done. I am starting my journey .I have heard of so many different pre op diets. What kind of order does your Doctor have you follow ?. I am just trying to figure out why there are such a wide range. I wish you luck on your journey :) I look forward to your post before and after surgery. I have learned so much off of this website. I am glad that we have it to share our journeys and such. Have a great day

My Doctor has me on Slim-fast. 3 -4 shakes a day. Sm salad. For 1 week prior to surgery. You are right, there are so many different diets. Just go with the one your doc recommends.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
