I called the insurance company and scheduler every day and they finally got tired of hearing from me.

I was thinking of calling more, but don't want to go overboard & become a PITA. I guess that needing a surgery is as good a reason as any to keep calling. I've only called twice in the last 10 days & the receptionist already seems annoyed :( She just tries to reassure me that they will call me when I'm approved...

It turned out my scheduler didnt fax over the paperwork although she said she did and there was a glitch in the insurance company's system that wouldnt allow my approval to go through. It would have gor swept under a rug if I didnt keep calling.

I do mine tomorrow

I wish you well. My SD was 4/15/13. I did great. Since 2 weeks before surgery to now I have lost 35 lbs! The only problem I have is chewing and eating slow. I get full and it hurts. I have been having a hard time getting in 80 grams of Protein a day.

      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.
