Hi guys, I did all my testing and turned everything in and had a date for May 2013. My insurance says everything looked great, BUT we forgot to tell you that you have to have our insurance for a year first!!! I was so bummed at the time, but am now starting to get excited, it's just around the corner! Anyone else out there going to have surgery about that time?

Mine will most likely be in mid-January 2014. I go back and forth from being very excited, to stressing about stuff. The holidays always go by so quickly, so I know that it's practically right around the corner! Yikes! good luck to you :)

That would be difficult. Hopefully you can firm up a date and start the excitement phase.

Hello All. My date has not been positively scheduled yet but we're looking at February 11th. My surgeon only does surgery on Tuesdays. I'm still doing all of my preliminary medical visits and just started my mandatory 3 month pre-operation diet. I am located in Mississippi and I'm looking for surgery buddies to help me through this process. :unsure: Janet

I may be a February 2014 Sleever. I'm still going through the preapproval process, but I hope to have approval by mid January! I'm so excited!

      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.
