My insurance approval took about a week. I went to my first meeting with the surgeon on Sept 19, so the process has gone pretty fast for me. I got my date about a week after approval, because I had to have my nutritionist class, and pulmonologist clearance first.

How exciting for you! I hope you hear back soon! What insurance company do you have? I called BCBS daily to check on it lol

I have Cigna. I decided to give them until Wednesday of this week before I really start nagging because my final appointment was the 15th.

My surgeons office will not give a date until all appointments are done and insurance has approved. I'm so antsy now though!

Mine wouldn't make the appointment before either, so I totally understand the antsy feeling. In fact I have my date, and am antsy now for different reasons. Now I am sitting here trying to do/think of anything else, but I can't lol

Are you on the pre-op diet? How's it going?

I start the pre-op diet by tuesday...they wanted a 10 day diet before of the liquids...Tomorrow is my birthday so I had my last meal today with family and plan on starting tomorrow as there was too many other things going on with them for tomorrow...that way I have it started before I go back to work this week. but had to go off some of my pills 14 days before surgery.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
