If you're talking about the visit to the hospital about a week before your surgery, at mine they took blood for labs and did a chest xray. They wanted to do an EKG but I told them I had had one in February by the cardiologist in the same building. They said they would get the result from him. I spent more time waiting to see different people than I did actually doing things. All in all, non-eventful.

It took me about 2 hours to complete paperwork, payment, bloodwork and xrays. I too didnt do an EKG because I recently had one.

Yes. The cost for the hospital was $1650. They allowed me to pay $550 up front then like $97/mo for the next 12 months. Im not sure what the physician (surgeon) or the anesthesiologist cost will be. I know it will not be nearly as much as the hospital charges. My insurance covered 85% of the cost.

Hopefully none.. Lol...my insurance has been picking up the tab... I've only had to pay for co-payments of $15 and my psych evaluation for $225... So they better keep shelling out the dough.. Lol

3 to 4 hours. It could have been shorter had I got there at 7a when they opened, but no, I had to sleep in that day. :rolleyes: :lol:

      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? 🤷‍♀️
