The Waiting Game Begins



Recommended Posts

I'm so excited I just came home from my last visit with the nut & have passed the psyche with flying colors so now I'm just waiting for the authorization to be submitted and auth'd hopefully with in a week or so I'll be able to get scheduled.....I have a million feeling going through my head right now, the main one being happiness. I can't wait for the weight loss to begin, there are so many things I want to do but right now I just need to start with some kind of physical activity tomorow after work I'm going the the local gym and will renew my membership I also will start walking our new puppy more often & make him my #1 guy since the others are not really helping :))) so for the first time in a long time I'm gonna make it all about me!!!!

Sorry if I'm all over the place like I said before so many thoughts & feelings right now

Already approved for surgery just waiting for a date. I feel you on being all over the place emotion wise, I've waited my entire life to do this, I'm 58 years old and its never to late to get healthy! Good Luck!

It all depends on your insurance company, usually a series of visits with the nutritionist, a psych eval sometimes a cardiology clearance and an EGD depending if you have other co-morbidities and age.... But time flys I feel like just yesterday I was at my PCP's office asking for a referral and now I'm so close :)))

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.
