Hi this Liz

The beginning of March I went to Dayone Health :( made my decision to get banded. The following week went to the counsulation spoke with doctors dietican and insurance rep was told I had pay $375.00 for the dietican. I did that met with her spoke briefly about diet and excercise nothing specific she told she would call me for another appointment and email me to discuss the three month diet my insurance company requires for approval.

Well she never called I called Dayone several times they said she would get in touch with me she never did. Finally I was told last week the diectian no longer works there at that point I really did not feel comfortable with that clinic so much of nothing after making my decision.:)

Over the weeks I research other hospitals I have decided to go with Mercy Hospital in Chicago I have to go to there seminar which in next Tuesday and then make appointment for consultation with the doctor so guess I will be a few months behind.

Please can someone from Chicago speak to me who has been banded at Mercy Hospital in Chicago please talk with me please I am seeking the right Doctor and Hospital I have Aetna PPO insurance.:)

Blessings

Liz

I'm currently going through DayOne Health...I've not had any problems, only with the insurance lady. She seems awfully busy...or incompetent, I haven't decided which yet!

Best of luck at the new place!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
