2014 October Surgery



Recommended Posts

I'm hoping to have my surgery late October! My situation is a bit confusing. My BMI is 36.6 but I have chronic hypertension which I've had for years! I have bcbs federal which requires a 2 year history of weight issues which I have but not sure if I was at 35 bmi the entire 2 years. I have my second appt next week with 2 more appts after that plus the psych eval. I became overweight after having my thyroid removed a few years ago and really want this surgery!! Anyone with similar experience or advice?

I hope to be sleeved in October also. So far, I have had all the tests except the endoscopy and colonoscopy. I haven't gotten all the results yet, but I'm expecting to be cleared (always the optimist!). I have 2 more visits with the team, one 8/19 and one 9/23, where they will weigh me (I needed 3 months of supervised weight loss). I'm hoping that they will send my paperwork in for approval after that last appointment.

I can't wait to get this done! Looking forward to sharing the journey with you all.

Chubtastic and Nurselori, I am also having surgery in Mexico with dr Rodriguez on October 24. Exactly 11 weeks from today. Using that time to get ready by learning new eating habits and trying to remember to sip Water all day long. The water part is hard for me, so I've got to work on that.

Yes that's a tough one. For me it's about drinking water to begin with. I am addicted to diet soda. Breaking that habit now. October will be here before we know it!!!

      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.
