Got My Date - Nov 6



Recommended Posts

I got my surgery date - November 6. The weird thing is that I turned in all my stuff to the surgeon's office for insurance approval & they told me that they would "call my insurance to verify my coverage" and they'd get back to me in about 2 weeks with a surgery date - because coordinating through the hospital would take that long. IDK everyone on here was so worried about insurance approval and all my surgeon's office did was call to verify coverage. I guess it's just that they work with BCBS so much that they know what they need for approval. IDK.

Anyway - my endoscopy is next Tuesday Oct. 2 and then I have an appt. with my PCP on Oct. 23 to be cleared for surgery & in the p.m. my appt. with the surgeon's nutritionist for my nutrition class and to get all my stuff for the 2 week pre-op diet which I'll start 10-24.

I think some doctors just aren't as worried about the size of the liver. I had my gallbladder removed laporascopically in 96 and I didn't have to do any type of liquid diet to shrink the liver beforehand & the gallbladder literally sits completely under the liver.

I agree...I think the doctors only give us these 2 week liquid fasts to give us a jump start to losing weight. I have an appointment on the 17th of this month and I will be asking : ) I'm not against it but wont be so worried if I cave in and eat something LOL!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
