I'VE BEEN APPROVED!!!!

Can't believe it, All the footwork has finally paid off!..I was so thrilled when I got the email from my surgeons office today that I almost cried, And now I'm nervous as hell thinking about it. But I know it's for the best and I'll be alright.

Wooo!

So happy for you! The relief must be overwhelming. I'm fighting the nerves as well so I know how you feel, but you're right, this is all for the best. Here's to a brand new you!

Grats. I just got started and I am in fear of the long road ahead. Lots of hoops to jump through. The Journey has got to begin somewhere.

Welcome! We all have hoops to go through, some more than others. We just tick them off as they are completed. I'm pre-op too and get a lot of confidence from the knowledge and experience of so many others before me. It is a safe operation that most people seem to be VERY happy they had-- they are way healthier, can move around much more easily and have extended their lives.

Best wishes on your journey!

Thanks for the kind words. I just filled out and emailed in my paper work to schedule my first visit. So I have a long while still. I am working to prepare myself physically and mentally to make it is as smooth as It can be. Much love to all those who have come before and to all those who are in the process.

It might not be as long of a journey as you think. I had my consultation appointment in May and I finished all the requirments for insurance 2 weeks ago, and now approved for my Surgery September 8th.

I didn't pick my date, that was a date I was given the day of my consultation appointment with my surgeon.

It doesn't always work that way from what I understand, But that's how it is for me.

Got it! So when u went to your initial consult you received a tentative date? I'm so confused w the whole process! I just got my authorization to see the surgeon and the nutritionist! I am waiting on the scheduler to call me.

      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.
