Insurance approved and now I'm anxious to get my surgery.



Recommended Posts

I have to go to my pre-op consult and then will find out my surgery date. Now that I know it's about to happen I'm having mixed emotions! I am an emotional binge eater. That doesn't help. Anyone else in my boat?

There are two birthdays and Easter this month...it's been a battle. So, have you given in to any cravings? You're right, it will end soon. Finally! I used to be thinner, a lot thinner! Pregnancy got me followed by a severe deep depression.

I was just having the same thoughts today. I just got the call that my insurance approved today and my surgery is set for May 21. I just got finished with vacation so I guess from here on my new life is about to begin. I kind of had my "fat funeral" on vacation. Didn't go crazy, just ate what ever I wanted knowing it would be the last time in a long time. I'm an emotional binge eater too so I'm most worried about that when stress becomes a factor.

Oh I bet it has been a "battle " and omg I totally gave in to cravings lol and then some... I'm trying to make mostly healthier choices but not always successful.. How about you? I used to be a thin person 10yrs ago, I wish I could claim pregnancy but being a guy that's not possible lol... My weight gain stems from stress and depression ???? I'm on the mend now so willing to change ????

Congratulations on the surgery date... I thought it would never come for me but finally it was my turn ???? what great timing with your vacay, I would have done the same with the enjoyment of food, on your trip!!! I'm worried about the stress binge eating type behavior myself.. I've got my first appointment with new shrink the day I start my liquid diet.. I figured I get started on that journey in regards to my weight. So hopefully that's the help I need to not binge/stress/emotional eat. Good luck to you and your journey.

I'm still waiting on the surgery coordinator to call me and give me a date! She said it will be by the end of next month for sure!

I had to call everyday where I go ???? I didn't wanna bug them, but realized real quick they can drag their feet some.

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

      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? 🤷‍♀️
