My insurance approved my surgery today! Crazy thing is the dr office submitted it yesterday. Loved the quick turn around! My surgery is set for September 25th! It's such a surreal feeling now that I've had the blessing of the insurance gods! I'm so excited!

Thank you!!

Yes I do! I'm not sure what it will consist of. I think it is a low carb low fat type of diet for 2 weeks prior. I have a final dietician appt. in several weeks to get me set up with that. :)

Good Luck!! That was fast!! I got my approval fast with Kaiser... but it took almost six months to get a date... and I had to fuss to finally get one.

Thank u guys. I actually got the date first lol. I was worried I was being too presumptuous but my dr scheduled the surgery before approval. I'm so ecstatic.

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.
