Thanks everyone...Insurance hit me a big surprise-a 3000.00 payment before I can have my surgery. I'm so frustrated but I'm working hard to come up with it. This was a mistake they made and just caught it now I'm stressing!!

Oh that stinks. Hope everything works out. I have the money out up for my surgery but only jut enough so I am hoping there aren't hidden costs that the insurance company comes up with.

I was so upset that they came up with that at the last minute. I was warned about UHC..it's ok though I'm not letting that stop me. Thanks for the kind words everyone!!

That sucks. My surgeon's office popped up at the last minute with a $500 "fee" that insurance didn't cover. Blah whatever! Hope everything works out for you!

Hope everything works out. I too have UHC. I spent $3500 out of pocket before surgery and just got a bill for $664. I feel your pain! It can be done though! Hang tough.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
