Anyone looking at a January date for surgery?



Recommended Posts

How's everyone doing? I have my second NUT visit on friday. I've lost about 10 pounds since my first consultation.. So I'm excited to see what they say. Hopefully my loss will continue and I'll be 20-30 pounds lighter before my surgery.

I would like to know if there is someone dealing with Medicare as their insurance to have the surgery done, I'm almost done with their requirements, and would like to know, how long does it take for the approval. Thanks

i'm jealous. I couldn't make it up to the office again this month and I have to have 6 appts. so 2 in December and 2 in January.. but its fine, cause we close on our house Dec. 19th and we will be moving through January, so it will already be high stress.

Any updates? I'll probably have a date in late February or the beginning of March.. I have two more NUT appts, this Friday, and the 30th and I have my endoscopy on the 29th. Then I'll be put in for insurance approval, which they said takes about 2 weeks and then i'll be scheduled for my final appointment with the surgeon, which they said my surgery is scheduled two weeks from that appt.

Excited.. nervous.. ready..

      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? 🤷‍♀️
