Waiting For Approval



Recommended Posts

I've completed everything required. I wanted to be sleeved before the year was over but hoping it will be done in January. Hopefully, I will be approved and receive a date before the year ends.

Congrats of getting through all of your pre-op requirements. My approval took less than a week but it was the longest week of my life! LOL

What a great way to start out 2014. And just think of where you'll be ringing in 2015 in a year's time. Good luck!

I am also waiting for my approval. I was told it could be up to 2 week before I hear back from anyone. It has been two days and I have never felt more nervous in my life. I'm also very anxious about it because as it stands right now, the only people in my life who are supporting me are the ones who have gotten WL surgery before. (2 people) everyone else including my best friend and mother are pushing hard for me not to do this. If I get approved it's only a matter of time before I am heathy for the first time in my life. I feel your pain. And it feels nice to know that there are others out there who feel mine. -Dylan

It's been two days for me also. Everyone been telling me I'm not big but maybe I carry it well. I'm 276 and only 5'6, I think that's pretty big knowing in only pounds away from 300. I've been told not to do it by many but this is what I want.

Congrats on gettng through the prelim stuff....hopefully you'll hear something very soon!! I just got my approval today, and it's such a relief when you get that call!! Now I'm just waiting for the surgery date. My surgeon is taking the first two weeks of the year off, so I know it won't happen until sometime after that.

Congrats again, and I wish you the very best!!

      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.
