September here I come!



Recommended Posts

I hear you. Now, I'm a nervous wreck because I don't know if insurance will cover me? Have to wait until August after my last RD visit to submit my case to insurance and then wait to see what the verdict is! But, yeah, I want this done yesterday!

Thanks! I started drinking 2 shakes a day with a low fat dinner and stepped up my exercise. Getting my mind right before surgery day.

I hope my surgery is in September. My final medically supervised diet appointment is the end of August and from what I hear, my insurance is pretty quick at approvals. I've completed all other requirements and my psyc appointment Aug 5th. I really hope the surgery happens the middle or end of September. :) My surgeon said as soon as we have insurance approval I will be put on the schedule for surgery pretty quick! I'm starting to get nervous/anxious but I made myself a list of all the reasons why I'm doing this and I have to keep reminding myself of these things.

I just got my date today and it is September 10th. I was hoping to do it in August but I had to work around work so September it is. I've been doing all the insurance hoops since January so an extra few weeks is okay. The reality is hitting me now so I'm pretty much a ball of nerves and self doubt right now.

I have September 19 in Tijuana Mexico with Dr. Louisianna Valenzuela. I am super excited. It is has been a long, tiresome road and I am so happy to be able to have this gift. A great tool to help me be the healthy person that has been waiting to come out. I hope to meet some of the other sleevers in Mexico. Can't wait to see everyone's pictures and hear your stories.

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.
