so, sugarush, are you going to opt for River Oaks instead of CMMC? I sure was glad to hear that it is an option. I had never even heard of CMMC before they told me that is probably where I would go.

Just heard from Paige !! I'm approved! Phase 2 testing tomorrow morning at 9! I asked her about using river oaks. She said that the information I received was incorrect and I had to use cmmc unless I had another insurance. I'm ok with that now. I've come too far to turn around. So I should have a date by the end of the week!!! If I could do backflips it would right now!

You have a surgery date posted for 9/30--is that for reals? :) I can not even begin to say how anxious I am right now hoping Paige will call this morning!!!!!! Did you do anything in addition to the Active Health thing to qualify? I mean, did you have to turn in documented attempts for a number of months, etc?? I'm so nervous I won't get approved for some reason. I've done Active Health since the first of January.

OK so I found out this morning that Paige did not receive my psych eval yet. So, called the psych office, requested they fax it again and this time, requested a copy faxed to me too. At least if Paige does not get it from them, she can get it from ME! :) ..................................while contemplating this, got a call from Paige, she received her copy and I have been submitted to insurance for pre-cert. WOOT WOOT! Now, the wait begins again. I hope it goes as quickly as yours sugarush!!! Hope all of your phase 2 testing is going well today. Let us hear from you when you feel like it!

Paige called me around noon today with my date! Which is Monday, Novemeber 4th!!! yay!! :rolleyes: I didnt have to submit any documentaion on dieting attempts. Just the letter from my pcp, 6month weight management, psych eval, and weight history for the last 3 years.

My phase 2 testing was easy peasy! It only took about 20 mins after checking in. The abg i was a littler nervous about because im usually a hard stick but she was a pro! Hopefully you hear from Paige tomorrow or friday. I know she told me this after noon, if i couldnt have surgery on the 11/4 then i would have to move to december. Dr cummins was filled for the rest of the month for the sleeve option.

ok so, I just got a phone call to schedule an EGD with GI Associates. The lady said that Paige instructed her that it must be completed 2 weeks prior to surgery and gave her a date of November 4th---SOOOOOOOO, I'm thinking that maybe she is shooting for that date for me?? Since we both have BCBS state employee plan, I am hoping above all hope that I will get approved too!! I had to submit the same things you did. So ready to get this on the road!

That's great news Crissy! Sounds like we have the same date! I don't think they would set a date without an approval so sounds like you were approved! Do you know the date of your education class? Mine is October 8th since the 1st was kinda crowded.

Talked to Paige--submitted for approval and she is just proceeding like they are going to approve it and planning on a surgery date of November 4th--no official word as of this moment though. She did go ahead and schedule me for the edu class on October 8th! So, we'll get to meet face to face! And we'll be sleeve sisters with the same surgery date!! They better look out!

Looks like my surgery date is moving. I don't have any details yet. I think my heart has shattered into a million pieces. Looking at the first of January now. Worse day of my life is today.

Oh no! Don't give up--it's just a couple months. I know paying the deductible again is horrible and it is not something I would be happy about---but, they haven't said NO--just LATER.

      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 had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
