So today I found out that the hospital I work at' date=' now has the sleeve covered under the insurance. It is 5000. I am paying 9800. I almost stopped the process and delay my surgery. I was going to go through my company's incsurace. That would delay my surgery for 3-6 months. I know that my mind was made up in April and I wanted to go with the original plan. My knees and ankle need that 3-6 months of weight loss to help them to heal. I felt a little guilty for finding this out this late in the game and I wanted to discuss it with my husband. I told my husband about it and to my surprise he said "have your surgery on Monday ". I was so happy we were on the same page. We usually are and that is why we have been together for 26 years. Married 23. He sees me hurting and not being able to do the things I used to do. I can't chase after the grand girls or even get on the floor and play with them. Before I could drop it like its hot now I drop it pretty fast but getting ups is slow, very slow. I can't wait to be able to dance again. I miss going to the gym and working our for hours. I miss going up 10 flights of stairs. I miss my old life. I hope to be up and running soon.[/quote']

Good for you, I am there with you..I cannot wait to do all the things I used to do! Maybe you can get your insurance to reimburse you some of it now that they cover it?

I'm sorry y'all... Day 4 of my pre op diet. No food. Just Protein Shakes & Water & I'm really hungry. I know I'm doing this for a very good reason but I'm SERIOUSLY SERIOUSLY frigging hungry & obsessing about food!!! All the self talk in the world isn't stopping my tummy from rumbling. I'm drinking 4-5 Protein shakes a day. And a lake full of water...

      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? 🤷‍♀️
