The moment you find out you are approved....

I just found out I got approved by my insurance. Curiosity kiilled the cat. I had to call my insurance about a different issue. I figured while I had them on the phone, I would just inquire about my approval process. Had they recvd the documents? Where is it in the approval process? Well the rep came back on, verified that they had docs and then verified that a letter was mailed out to my surgeon and to myself providing authorization/approval for WLS. I think I almost passed out.

Initial reaction: Tears of joy

2nd reaction: WTF is getting ready to happen?!?!?

My surgery date is scheduled for November 9th! If I didn't have a few work related projects going on in October, I swear I would move that date up to, but November 9th is the divine date that I am going to stick with. Any other November 9th surgery dates out there?

      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? 🤷‍♀️
