Congrats on your approval! That's exciting!:D

When I found out I read the letter over and over. I thought for sure I'd see the word "denied" and couldn't believe I read "approved". :)

I did a really silly Vlog wearing a party hat and waving my letter!

I'm having my surgery 5/9 so we can support one another! Congratulations!

I haven't gotten a letter yet, but I got a call from both my insurance specialist at the doc's office and the case manager for my husband's company (that's who my insurance is through). I was at work so I tried to be cool about it but I just kept saying, "Oh my gosh, oh my gosh." Then I sent a mass email to everyone who knew that I was trying to get the surgery.

My surgery is May 2, so it seems like there are quite a few of us having surgery with a two week period of each other. We'll have to start a thread to keep up with each other!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
