It is not easy to get a first time approval. I was denied twice and then approved on third try.

You must be so relieved! I can't wait until I hear that news too...I have to go to a cardiologist next week and then they said they would approve me..I had to postpone it because of my insurance but I just got it back today! I am on my WAY! Makes me a little worried tho because what if they say they need something else all of a sudden after that, u know? I guess I will find out.

Violet,, call your insurance company and ASK for a COPY of what is required by them... Then just go down it like a check sheet. Who is your insurance with?

I have medicare. I will call them tomorrow and see what they say...but my surgeons office did tell me that they said after I'm seen by the cardiologist they will approve me..you'd think they would tell me everything that would need to be done if there is more...who knows!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
