I talked to the insurance company and they have my paperwork so I hope to get a call this week. It looks like the first week of February for me...but no date yet.

I just got my insurance approval today so now I am just waiting on the surgeon's office to get the approval and schedule the labs to get a date. They said they could have me in for labs within a week of getting the approval so hopefully I will be sleeved early February!

Had my phone apt with UHC nurse Rebekah from Minnesota. Very nice lady. She said I met all criteria. Only thing left for me was to meet with the Dr, do a psych eval, and any labs the KC Bariatrics center required. She anticipated I would be sleeved in 2 months or less. YAY ME!!

I'm in my first month of supervised diet, can't wait for the months to pass. I've lost about 15 in the last three weeks. Anyone else just starting their journey?

Not until late October or early November for me, I need to wait for my 12 month waiting period with my insurance to be up

My pre-op visit is Feb 2 and I have a weekend getaway planned for Valentine's Day, so I am hoping for the beginning of March. That should give me enough time for the pre-op diet and I will hopefully be recovered and feeling good by the time the kids go on spring break.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
