So Monday October 28 was my 6 month supervised diet and my last. So Wednesday i decided to call the surgeon office to see if they receive the documents and they said "no". I called my pcp office and they said everything was set so now im going back and forth. I was so upset that i started giving them a piece of my mind. The lady at my pcp office even gave me her personal number because it's hard to get a hold of someone in that office. So a week went by and nothing was resolved.

Wow! I'm sorry to hear that!! At least the one lady seems genuinely wanting to help you get it solved but that's so frustrating!

I hope it's resolved soon, good luck and keep us posted!

This must happened always, because I am in my fourth month and just found out none of my management sheets were fax over , today they were finally fax over and I have two more months to go. I agree with the above statement stay on them because I see now this is common practice. Good luck.

Thanks cup cake. It's just so annoying waiting on them to work, when all they have to do is fax some papers over.

When I started pre op my doctor was the member of one doctor group at my 6 month mark she changes and my 6 months of weigh ins don't count! Had to start over another 6 months! Fast forward I got it done had the surgery in May and I am down 106 as of today. I have 1 more pound to go to be under 200. I haven't been there in 20 years. So hang in there you will be happy with the results.

I was lucky found great doctors and the surgeon had everybody in house! Weight loss, psych, nutrition, exercise it was great and well worth it. He was a center of excellence.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
