So today I completed my 3 month program with my NUT. I told her that I was worried about being approved by Aetna due to the fact that my weight fluctuated the entire three months. She told me she's never heard of anyone being denied due to gaining so I'm praying that she's right. Next week I meet with my Psychologist for the final testing phase with her and the only other thing I am waiting for is my letter of medical necessity that I am still waiting for from my PCP. I was told by the bariatric coordinator that she also received word from my OB/GYN yesterday that he was in the midst of writing one as well. My PCP informed me yesterday that she had completed my letter just needed to fax it but I swear they are in their own little bubble and does thing when THEY WANT to do them. I also asked them if they had submitted my medical records and said they seen nothing about it. I asked my bariatric coordinator if she requested them and she said that if had been done when I started the program three months ago!! I am crossing my fingers this will all be taken care of by the end of the month so that I can submit all my paperwork and hopefully be approved! I'm so exited I just want it to be submitted already. And on top of all of that the valet at the hospital this morning wrecked my car ugh!

Will do! I told my NUT about your post and she told me she's never heard of anyone being denied for weight gain so I am praying she is right. Besides a couple loose ends I should have all my paperwork submitted in the next two weeks :)

      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? 🤷‍♀️
