Any October surgeries out there...



Recommended Posts

Okay, I sorta cheated. Finished all the hoops last Thursday and talked with the case manager who stated she was just getting ready to submit the papers to the insurance company. She said that they should know something in about two weeks. So today I log into my insurance company's website and checked to see if an authorization for surgery had been submitted. Sure enough it had been, still pending of course, but the surgery date the doctor's office submitted it for is 10/23/13. Hopefully, they can move it up a little. With no lapband anymore, having to work really hard to maintain the weight I lost. I'm doing it but so totally insecure without the tool on board.

This is what I get for cheating by checking my insurance. Doctor's office called today at 1:00 PM CST, informed me my insurance had approved me (two business days.....faint, faint, faint) and my surgery is 9/11/13 at 10:00 AM. Went from fainting at the fast approval to a small heart attack. So no longer on the October forum. Switching to September.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
