Yes it is getting close!! 5 weeks from today for me :) I go tomorrow to have my pre op (Opti Fast) diet appointment and to purchase my months worth of shakes $500 worth I really hate to pay that much but it's a requirement. I am excited to start the last part of the journey to surgery. I start the diet on Tuesday I believe so I am sure I will be in here posting and complaining about starving to death lol. Hopefully I won't hurt anyone during the first few days!

How's everyone else doing? Anyone have a 4 week diet like me? I can't wait to see everyone come in and update.

Yayyyy I'm scheduled for nov 5th how long dud it take for your approval? I'm waiting its only been a week tho

Mine only took 1 day but I called my insurance company the day it was submitted and I explained my surgery would not be scheduled until they received the insurance approval letter. They called the next day before lunch to let me know it was approved and had been faxed tone drs office.

It wouldn't hurt to call your insurance company tomorrow and find out the status :)

I'm not patient at all but it worked in my favor!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
