You know we already dread waiting the 6 or 7 mo to do all this hoop jumping but to have to wait for a Dr. To just sign an evaluation and fax it over is just ridiculous. I had my Pysc eval on the 11th and she said they would have it faxed by the end if the week....well guess what no she didn't. Know a 1 1/2 week later dr Dr. Is out til Saturday and then he may sign it and fax it. HELLO you would think the nurse that did the evaluation would know how important and how anxious I am being that she had WLS a few years ago. Just had to vent, I guess another week won't kill me but I sure don't like it...

I remember wishing every day was surgery day for months... the time did go by quick though and now I'm 2 months post-op and it feels like my surgery was a long time ago...

Hang in there!

I understand your frustration... I think we all do... I hated the hoop jumping.. You know what annoyed me the most? Was having to spend the night in the hospital for the sleep apnea test. OMG I wanted to pluck out those peoples eyelashes one by one lol! Hang in there it will happen before you know it!!

That stuff they put in ur hair was terrible and the next morning I couldn't even take a shower and the tech said "I'm glad it's still dark outside because your hair looks awful"....lol. Oh well I'm just sssooooo ready to hv this done and start my "new" life

They probably already have you penciled in on their schedule and know the time needed to get the insurance approval done so are getting to it as needed. The numbers of these is rising quickly so they pace themselves as needed.

Maybe your right. I did call my coordinator and she said that is all she is waiting on so maybe she will get it Monday.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
