I mean, so far nothing has really happened. I met with the Surgeon here at Jane Phillips. I have an appointment with a nutritionist, exercise specialist and the psychologist all this month. I am starting my 4 consecutive week weigh in twice a week, on Monday September 12th. I'm nervous about that. I'm not sure what to expect.

I just feel stuck until I get approval from insurance and set a surgery date.

The bariatric program here in bartlesville told me my goal right now, is to not gain. Weight loss is okay, but in small amounts, so the insurance will approve me.

My insurance requires a 6 month Dr. Supervised plan, or two - 3 month plans (within the past 2 years). I did a 3 month plan last year that I am trying to be approved for and if it is accepted, I will only have to do 3 more months. I am currently on week 2 of the 3 months. I will be done Nov. 24th. Hoping to get the surgery complete in December. Fingers crossed!

I have bcbs. Had my fifth month check up last week. After my October 7th appointment they will send to insurance for approval. All happened so fast! If all goes well November will be the month but I'd love to have it in October!

@tiffanymunn if you have any questions hit me up. I was only anxious once so far and that was meeting the surgeon. I am so excited about the future I don't have the energy to worry.

I'm in Norman and Dr Lana Nelson did my sleeve in July. LOVE her, she and her staff at Journey Clinic are wonderful and knowledgeable. However the support groups I've been to here are not good IMO. I actually found the few I went to kind of depressing as most of the people were complaining of setbacks and/or not that successful in their journeys.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
