I Expected to have to wait at least a week or two! The best part is that I received the call as soon as we arrived at our vacation spot. It was just the news I needed to keep me on track with my pre op diet. The coordinator is trying to fit my surgery in 2 weeks. Woohoooo, I am super excited!!!

Where were you in the process when you applied? I have my first meeting this week. I think I have to do diet and counseling for 3 months or doc visits for 6 before I can apply?

I got my approval 3 days after I finished my last pcp visit too! I got a call asking me if I could start the liqid diet right away and was scheduled 2 weeks out immediately. Banner Bariatrics has been amazing. Anyone in AZ looking to get sleeved, I would advise starting there! Tomorrow is the big day! Good luck to all of you!

I had my first appointment in April, 3 months of weight management, pysc eval, nut counseling, endoscopy, pre surgical class, ketosis diet and a letter from my doctor. I made and kept every appointment right away and was very compliant. We submitted on my 90th day! I have a condition called idiopathic intracranial hypertension which is basically an invisible brain tumor, that can lead to blindness. Weight loss is often the only cure for it, this may have helped my chances but I don't know.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
