Potential fall sleevers?



Recommended Posts

I have completed all my preliminary tests - just need to meet with my nutritionist 6 months to meet the BCBS MN requirements. I plan to enjoy the summer and build up my muscle mass so I don't get too flabby when the weight falls off.

Like wise, I been drinking Protein, exercising, just preparing myself I am ready !!!!!

I just started my journey April 3rd. I am now doing all the test I have 3 test left. The psychological, endoscopy and a EKG which I the last 3 appointments with the next 3 weeks. I can't wait for August/September to have my sleeve. I'm so excited. I was going to do the last year but I was not ready. Now I'm so ready to do this.

That's awesome for everybody. I'm almost half way through my process. I have my 3rd of 6 supervised diet appointments next week. Then I only have my May, June, and July visits left and then it can be submitted. I've lost and gained during these 3 months but have tried my best and learned so much thus far about Protein first, staying hydrated, Vitamins, portion size etc. I'm really excited for a second chance and am really looking forward to it.

I started my journey a month ago and just had my first follow up / weigh in with my surgeon today. So far I've lost 9 pounds so I am excited about that. I'm hoping to have my surgery around September once I jump through all these hurdles for the insurance company. Good luck everyone!!

Im one and a half months into the process of getting the sleeve. I'm finding it hard to get my butt moving to go for walks.

I also was a huge ice cream eater which I stopped eating it a while ago. Just yesterday I bought some and ate it then I was so mad at myself. I'm I know I should start out like 10 minutes a day. I guess I just needed to get that off my chest.

I just attended my first appointment with the nutritionist. My insurance requires 3 month supervised diet and pysch visit, so I'm hoping for a Sept/Oct surgery. I'm excited, but nervous! Good luck to you all.

I wish I had to wait 3months. Six months is a long time...at least for it is.

Hi Everyone! I am hoping to have my sleeve surgery before the fall. I received my referral on 4/29 and I have my consult/seminar on 5/13. Words cannot express how excited I am to get started. Best wishes to everyone going through the journey! Hopefully, we can keep each other motivated and encouraged. All the best.

I go tomorrow for my consultation and seminar. To my knowledge I will not have to do a six month wait but I am not totally sure. I will definitely update my status tomorrow night. Do you?

Yes I have to wait 6 month my last class isn't until Sept 2, 2014 so I guess after that they will submit paper work hoping to get schedule in Sept or at least the 1st week of Oct

      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? 🤷‍♀️
