Megs81 how did your surgery go? How are you feeling?

Surgery went great. Was in some pain the first couple of days. It is an adjustment but it is not too bad. They pretty much left me alone the first day but the 2nd day I was up and about a lot. Since being home I have been doing just fine. It is getting easier to get all of my liquids in. And I finally got the soreness out. Things seem to be going great

It's going. Lol.....I sent to the pulmomologist and psych eval this week. I go to the cardiologist tomorrow. But, then I don't have another appointment for almost 3 weeks. They should have my sleep study scheduled by friday. I have a second dietician appt, then the surgeon on Feb 8th. I hate having that much lull in my appts. I think that is alot of time to waste. I would like to know how long after the surgeon appt do they have surgery scheduled. How is it going with you? What appointments have you had so far? Good luck Mollie!! Oh, btw, I changed my screen name to oklafarmgal, but it's still me. lol.......

I was wondering the same thing! I haven't started any yet. : / I have the seminar on Monday and then my app with dr.kirk on Wednesday. I tried calling ahead to get some other appointments scheduled so I wouldn't have to wait so long (like you seem to be having to), but they wouldn't let me. : (

Did you see if they had a cancellation list they could put you on to get in faster? I'm going to try that. I have a job opportunity coming up in a couple months and really wanted to get this going faster than it seems to!

Yes. I emailed the girl that sets up appts and asked her to let me know if there is a cancellation. I sure hope there is. I just really have a feeling I will be into March before I can have surgery. That is really going to stink. I dont know how I can fit surgery into that month. The seminar is very informative. You will hopefully enjoy it. Plan on a long office wait on Wednesday. Dont be surprised if you have an hour wait to see him. But it's worth it. Good luck.

I saw my surgeon in October and I waited until January to have surgery because the sleeve was not covered by my insurance until then but usually everything happens pretty quickly

Yep. The treadmill test sucked but you can't avoid that. Do you have a surgery date yet

      Does anyone know, how long it takes for Medicare to approve surgery?

        I think it depends entirely on what guidelines you're being referred under. I had that kind of insurance through the state as a low-income person for 10 years and even though I was over 400 lb for 10 years they denied me. All based on the fact that I did not have diabetes. I switched insurances once I was offered a different kind of coverage from work and was approved within two months

      I got a little bag of samples when I saw the nutritionist last week. Turns out I much prefer the Celebrate 45 Tropical Twist vitamins to the Bariatric Fusion orange flavor, so I've placed an order for those and the sweet treat assortment of calcium soft chews, which were almost dangerously tasty. The Unjury chicken soup was better than the other brand I tried, but not enough to buy it. And their vanilla shake was vile. I just can't do artificial sweeteners, and probably not vanilla unless I add something to it to mask the flavor. The aftertaste was so strong and I had a vague impression of drinking baby formula. So far the only ones I've really liked have been the orange and peach flavored Syntrax Nectar Naturals, so I'm going to get two vegan fruit flavored options in case I have trouble with whey after.

      I'm new here and unsure how to reply/respond to people. Guess I'll figure it out, or maybe you can help me a lil. lol.  A lil direction would be nice.
      I'm still wrapping my head around having this surgery to lose weight. I have completed all requirements, in 2022, and now it's a waiting game.  I missed a call in Aug. to have the surgery. 1st call I have missed in years and it had to be THAT one!   I was so upset at myself and then fell back back that weekend to my ol' comfort food; ice cream.  I fall from time to time but then get backup on my Johnny Wayne Saddle and do better. 
      I have been waiting so long I forgot what the specific surgery is called. 🤔.  It's the one where my stomach will look like a banana.  I just want this done so I can be on my way to a healthier and more active person, and hopefully feel physically and mentally better and better sleep too. We'll see. 
      Wishing everyone a safe and successful surgery.

        Has anyone messaged you and helped?

        If you go to the top of the page and click on your user name there will be a drop down that will allow you to do things from there. The interface on this site is a little wonky and could use some improvement, basically, you'll kinda have to click around until you find what you want to edit/update.

        I tried adding stuff to my albums and it uploaded the same things twice and I can not delete the duplicated picture. If you add a ticker and later you want to update it, like you lost more weight or you're closer to a certain goal, you have to go through the whole ticker choosing process again. The site can be a little frustrating.

      Today was my 1 month followup, 5 weeks post surgery. My dietician gave me a gold star review for my post op diet, and I graduated to Stage 4 of my program. Stage 5 should be approved in November, and that is the forever way of eating.
      I had to go to a post op nutrition class as part of my appointment today. There was a young lady in there that had been eating WAY off diet, and she was not doing well... She had been eating fast food, but peeling the buns off, eating vegetables that were not well-cooked, and eating all kinds of foods that were not part of the detailed instruction that everyone in this program receives. We had SO many caveats from Day One to not try to jump ahead on the schedule for the foods that we eat. I was baffled that someone would decide to eat off program, especially so soon after surgery. She became tired of the liquids & soft foods, so she chose to eat ahead.
      The result of her skipping ahead was that she had experienced a lot of vomiting & foamies, a lot of pain, and was unable to drink any fluids. She started feeling flushed and faint in class and had to be sent to the hospital to get some IV fluids.
      The discipline that one needs for bariatric surgery cannot be overstated. We have to dig deep mentally and physically to get through surgery itself, learn new things, manage medications, and really lean into that crucial change of mindset and behavior. I hope that this young lady is able to get herself together to make the most of her surgery.

        Great post. Thank you for the insight/update. So happy to hear you are doing so well. Keep up the good work.

        I am still waiting for my surgery...though classes were completed 9/2022. I don't like the waiting game. But I will say that my 'surgery buddy' mentioned this site and am happy I'm hear and hope to gain support and insight for my surgery.
