Just got my date, Dec 10th!

Aside from waiting 2 more months, I think December is an awesome month to have it done. What a way to start the new year!

My date is also 3 weeks after my 45th birthday, so it will be a great birthday present to myself also. Perhaps I will go in and pay the hospital/surgeon fees on my birthday to make it my official present.

Haleylhs be careful with weightloss before. Ins are very different so yours may be nothing like mine. However I just saw my nut on Thursday and was told don't lose any weight until I'm approved because my ins requires 40+ bmi and I drop to 41. But again I don't know if you have any other medical conditions. Just thought I would fyi because I would have never thought about that. :-)

I'm good ☺ going a little nuts and wish time would fly. Have 2nd appt with surgeon this Friday psych on the 21st and 2nd nut on the 31st. Will set my tummy camera appt friday with surgeon and hopefully will be submitting to ins by the 2 week of nov. Cant loose any weight which is driving me nuts because I'm at my HW ever and have NO jeans that fit. And I have days to quit smoking. I have to stop in the next 2 days for sure I just don't know how. How's are the rest of dec sleeves doing?

      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.
