Okay so I saw my doctor day are you going to class and and had already previously done the 6 month diet and it was supervised so at the end of the day meeting with the doctor the coordinator comes in to tell me that's because I missed the month of March I would have to redo my 6 month thankfully I have kept up with my doctor for the last 2 so they said that could be put towards my 6 month but I still have to do another 4. the thing that pisses me off the most is the fact that I work so hard for the 6 month and sent so much money to help me lose weight and now I can't even use it because I miss a month due to the death of my mother is not right I feel like crying. Sorry I just wanted to vent I've been looking so forward to meeting the doctor and getting all this stuff ready so I can do this surgery and get healthy because I missed month now I have to wait even longer. thank you to anybody who is listening.

I know you're frustrated right now but just don't give up. Unfortunately there probably isn't anything you can do you will have to do the extra 4 months. But use the progress you've made so far as motivation. In the big picture four months is nothing compaed to a lifetime of health. Don't stress about it, its a setback but it doesn't mean you have to fail or give up!

Thank you Teresa. I'm not giving up. It just makes me upset that I spent all this time and money for nothing.

I'm so sorry for your loss. I'm hoping "this shall pass" sooner than later. Good luck to you, keep the faith, and keep going. You are worth it!

I'm so sorry about your loss of your mother. I'm sure that it is heartbreaking to have this delay on top of everything else. My surgeon's office told us over and over again about not missing 1 month or having to start over (obviously it was out of your control in this case). One thing they recommended was to make each appointment early in the month, so if you needed to reschedule, you could still do so within the same calendar month. That might be something to try just to make sure you get the 6 months in.

No I know its not the Doctor. I think the insurance should have something where if u miss a month then u have to do just one month not having to do the whole thing over.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
