Finally! I Meet With My Surgeon Tomorrow!



Recommended Posts

Hello Darlings!

So Tomorrow is the day I finally meet with my surgeon! The countdown is on baby! LOL...I'm ready but nervous. Do I receive my surgery date during the consultation? What should I expect? Any feedback will be great! Thanks in advance.

depends on what your insurance requests. It can be as much as 3-6 months is what I am reading. There are all kind of testing and nutritionists meetings. I am into it 1 month and with my insurance maybe sometime in October I hope. This first month has been many different tests. Good luck and we will make it.

Well with my surgeon all of those things are done before we can even been seen by him. So my blood work, meetings(4) with my NUT, mental evaluation and my insurance covers it. So I'm at the finally point. It's been a journey since Feb 16th! Good luck to u as well!

Yay, I am so happy you got your date, it won't be long now. My pre-op diet started two weeks before my surgery, and my surgeon's staff emailed it to me the week prior to starting it.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
