How long after your 3rd class were you scheduled for your 4th?

It was about a month after my 3rd class that I had my 4th class. Everything is pretty much taken care of for you. I received a call stating that my insurance had approved the surgery and was able to schedule the surgery during the phone call. Once the surgery is scheduled, they schedule your 4th class and prepare your surgical packet.

Surgical packet contains the points that were covered in the phone conversation, date & time of 4th class, surgery date, follow up date and time with the NUT and DR. Paperwork for preop testing, and what to expect at the hospital. All of that went very smooth for me because I work there and didn't have to do a lot traveling back and forth.

Dr. Hungness is awesome and so are all of the nursing staff. Someone was always checking to see if I was in pain or if I needed anything. Plan to be in the hospital 2-3 days, that's how long he keeps his patients. I had surgery on Monday and was home on Wednesday. My drain was removed before I was discharged.

Well I got the approval from my PCP, & I go see Dr. Nagle on Wednesday 3rd class on the 18th and another appointment with my Nut Erin on the 25th... After that I guess it the waiting game.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
