Thank you. I started in July, I had to do the six month with the dietitian my final appointment with the dietitian was on December 5th. But once UHC approved me it was on December 31st. So now my doctor (Jonathan Taylor) was out of the office last week and this week all booked up so my appt with him is on Jan 16th. I was hoping to have the surgery in December but Now I just want it soon so I can be healthy and confident again :)

What's been you're experiences with the healing of yourincisions? I know we are more prone to getting keloids and just wanted to know if anyone had any ugly scaring.

Could it be that the plan changed January 1st. Can the insurance grandfather approval since you started the process prior to January.

Thank you

After being on the phone back in forth for for hours with the insurance company,

      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.
