I didn't get surgery July 7th because my insurance was terminated days before my surgery.. Soooooo sad. But all I have to do is reactivate it and call my surgeon back with an effective date of my insurance and get a new date.. Anyone familiar with this happening

Why was it cancelled?

It says why up there. My insurance was terminated without giving me notice. So all I have to do it call back once my insurance is up and running again and I'll have a new date

Sorry - I should have been more clear. I was wondering why the insurance was cancelled. But no worries, you'll have a date again soon. No, have heard other reasons why procedure was cancelled last minute (doc was sick, patient was sick, etc) but not because insurance was cancelled. Might be a blessing in disguise.

It was time for renewal and didn't even think of that with all the excitement. But now it's in process of being reopened I just have to wait til it's open again and I'll have my date. I'm just being positive

Hi Tammie30 !!! So sorry to hear about your set back. Hang in there girl, it will happen. My surgery did happen on Monday 7/7. Came out great. Dr. was gonna let me go on Tuesday, but I felt a little funny, so we agreed for me to stay one more night. Happy I did stay. Started throwing up during the night real bad. Had to go NPO again. Only IV'S going and still throwing up. Dr. ordered all kind of xrays all night long on Wedsday night. He came into my room around 10:45 pm and saw my condition and ordered emergency surgery. In less than an hour he was back in clearing up scar tissue from past surgerys. Felt 100% better after that. Came home yesterday (Thursday). First night was a little rough only because I had to really take care of myself. Oh and while I was in the hospital, My son had to rush my Dad to ER at the same hospital. My poor Mom & Aunt had run between the both of us. So please say a prayer for them and My Dad. They really don't know what is going on with him yet. Now time for my weight to start coming off!!!!!!!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
