My doctor is Dr. McEwen and he seems really nice and says this is the best thing I could do for my body. I have changed the way I eat and cutting back. I lost 12 pounds within 2 weeks of going back to the doctor. I wanted to get started on not eating like I use to so when they say go I am ready. He says it shouldn't be very long before he hear's from the insurance since I have been on this since the last of February. I sure do hope so. I can't wait.

I have been married for 20 years and have one son who will graduate High School next year.

It is nice to meet you and I hope we can talk again.

Hi Beth...My insurance approval was so fast! They received my papers on Friday the 13th...lol...and I had my approval letter in my hand on Friday, the 20th....only one week later!!

I am in Kansas now, but lived 37 years in NW Indiana...its nice to see a Hoosier on the board (I'll always be a Hoosier at heart!!)

I'll be watching for your "I'M APPROVED" post!!

I am not really waiting on approval they already said they would pay for it. You know that insurance paper work. I am ready when he calls. This is the best thing they have ever came up with. Thanks for replying and I will keep you posted.

This is where I am right now. But want to lose more than I have put down. I think I would look great at 120 since that was what I weighed before. I can't wait to get there!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
