Good morning. Well this is another day and I am still awaiting on my PCP to fax over where i was on Adipex for a year. This is really stressing me out which i know i shouldn't worry. My PCP sent an email on last Thursday that the letter would be send out to my surgeon. I called my surgeon on yesterday and they still haven't received the letter from my PCP. Finaly I realized that the individual who sent me the email from my PCP was using someone's account while they were out. At this point, I am just hoping that my PCP sends over the form by Thursday. I will give them a week to get everything over to my surgeon before I go to the office. Lord help me to calm down PLEASE!

Ask if you can go to the office and pick it up to hand deliver it to your surgeon. I did that with my Orthopedic Surgeon because they were so slow in getting the letter to my surgeon. It helps and you KNOW it gets there. Take a deep breath, this is NOT a fast process (trust me, i am very inpatient so it killed me to have to wait!!)

That's exactly what I did. I love my PCP, but she's busy and I know some things get lost in the shuffle. I wanted to make sure my letter wasn't one of "those things"!!

I did the same thing. I picked up all my letters so I could also have a copy in-case for any reason I would need them during this process. Good luck!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
