Is there one or does he book up fast? Is it unreasonable to get in with in a month or sooner? Calling but curious!

I did. He had a lot of patients but really took his time in discussing things:). Would highly recommend him:)

When I booked a week ago, (I'm March 28), Alma said it's a busy time of year with ppl getting their tax refunds back. They like to schedule only 4 surgeries/day. But you'll just have to call and see. Good luck!

It's prob good so my airline ticket won't be too bad! In excited! That is awesome that there will be some of you there too! She said there is some the first week of March available, but booked up besides that which is good!! It gives me time to plan! I was waiting on my ins to deny me or approve me but found out I would be paying 4700 out of pocket if approved and then the us surgeon would be 2 months out!!So decided on MX!

Yay! So you have decided to get the MX route after all? I'm still in shock over BCBS of AL.

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

      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? 🤷‍♀️
