Ok so I called ins today to make sure I knew for sure what was required. A little worried about the weightloss part. But surprised that the esophagoscopy is not a requirement for ins

I quit smoking cold turkey 7 yrs ago.

It was hard, I was a mega-Bi. The first week is more of a physical withdrawal, then after is all psychological. It's not easy, but it's worth it :)

Good luck

I have to be out 4-6 weeks. I am an LNA in NH and because of the heavy lifting and constant moving I need to be out longer:(

I should be sleeved in December. Got my approval letter from insurance yesterday. Should talk to Dr next week about going into schedule. When they called me Wednesday to say I was submitted to Insurance, they said the Dr was scheduling into December. So excited to get going!

Finally got my approval from insurance. After finishing all my supervised diet visits and pre-op stuff in October, surgeon finally submitted me last Thursday 11/13/14 and I just heard it was approved today 11/18/14. Seemed like forever, especially considering my surgery date was set for 12/01/14-I was starting to freak out it'd go to medical review and push my date back. *Sigh* what a relief. It's actually happening now!!

My last appt is 11/24 for my required 6 mo for my primary care for weight loss maintenance! How long do I have to wait if my doctor sends everything to my surgeon that day? I hope I get my surgery in Dec.

      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.
