Recommended Posts

I have been on this site for well over a year. I have been through a lot in that year, as I am sure we all have been. When I started here our insurance wouldn't pay for any WLS. So my only option was to go to MX. I had planned to have it Jan 17 2013 with Dr. Lopez in PV. I met 2 great ladies here during that time who were having surgery same place and same time and another who was having surgery with DR. Alvarez at the same time. We have stayed in touch and I call those ladies friends. They have done awesome!!! But I had to cancel due to some family issues. My marriage was on the rocks, mom was having surgery, a lot of crap!!! I went into a deep depression at this time cause I felt like I shoulda forgot everyone else's crap and took care of me.

Low and behold insurance began paying for WLS right after that and I began hoop jumping as of April. I finished up SEpt 13th they submitted my file that day to insurance did all my pre op testing and we scheduled surgery that day for October 1st. I have been having a bout of negativity since. Thinking there would be no way I would get the approval back by then. I will probably get denied for some obscure reason. Something will happen.

Well God saw fit to take care of it for me and I got My APRROVAL today!!!!! Yay!!!! Me!!!!

I have one week and y'all better move in over on that losers bench!!!!

      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.
