I just got the call about 45 minutes ago from my surgeon's office saying that my insurance had finally approved me!! YAY!

I was denied at first for not being obese 5 years ago in 2008 (stupid). So my insurance company asked that I have a 2 hour glucose test and a letter from my doctor stating why I am taking Metformin. <I was diagnosed with insulin resistance about 8 years ago, and the insurance company only originally requested 5 years of medical records>

So, after submitting all of that extra stuff to them yesterday (or maybe this morning is when they got it ?) I AM FINALLY APPROVED! :D :D :D

Thanks everyone!! I am so excited and relieved to finally know the answer! I don't have a date yet, they center didn't get the approval until late this afternoon. I will call my surgeon on Tuesday morning and set a date for my consultation. I guess I will find out a date then.

I really hope I get a date soon. I think with my work schedule, it may be around the middle of October before I can take off for it. Hoping that will work with the surgeon's office!

Thank you so much! Yes, it is a major relief! I feel like such a weight has been taken off my shoulder. Now comes the next stress, waiting for surgery day! That's a different kind of anxious though!!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
