Anybody know what the average upfront surgeon fee is? I wasn't aware that it wasn't included in insurance?

Best of luck to all of you about to have surgery. I am only 6 weeks out and couldn't be happier with my progress thus far. I have lost a total of 31 lbs (inc pre-op liquid diet) and I feel great. The liquid diet is HARD but important - it gives you a great jump start on the weight loss and definitely helps shrink your liver to make it easier for the surgeon to operate on you.

Remember to just rest and take good care of yourself after the surgery.

Set yourself up to succeed by organizing everything in advance and making sure you have what you need both at the hospital and once you get home.

Best wishes!!

I'm having to pay 350$ out of my pocket to the surgeons office but I don't know if that's average or not

      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.
