Wow that is pretty fast. I had my nutrition appt first. It was kind of a waste of time. All they did was tell me what I already know. Eat more lean Protein, fruits, and veggies. They did go over portion size and what it will be post surgery.

My wellness visit was also quick. It was done at the hospital and they just test your endurance and how your body responds to physical activity.

My psych eval took FOREVER. I had to go to the office 3 times. The first was just to talk with the guy about the surgery (basically it was like therapy). Then, the next visit I had to complete a questionaire on the computer. It took about 20-30 minutes. Then I had to come back a 3rd time to read the results and go over his findings.

After everything is done and you have submitted it to the surgeon's office, they will send it to your insurance for approval. This can take from 2-4 weeks. Some are fast, some are slow. Once you get this, if approved, they will schedule your surgery date (depending on the surgeon, you may have some sort of pre-op diet). If denied, they will go back and redo your paperwork and try again. It all depends on the insurance after your part is done.

Good luck!!

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.
