Dede that's exactly why I chose not to go through my insurance because I felt like that would/could possibly happen and I figured by the time I jumped through all the hoops they wanted me to with all of the testing they wanted Preop all of the copays would add up to just a bit less than I would be spending going out of the country. And I would be well into the weight loss process too when I would have still been waiting. It just didn't make any sense to me. I'm happy I chose my choice. It worked for me.

Hi! I tried to reply to the message but this ap just freezes for me ???? I can't wait to hear all about it! Everything's good on my end minus a bit of dehydration but that's my own fault. Hope you're well!

Hi Julie - yes, I will see you there! You'll be one day ahead of me. My husband and I are coming from Idaho. Would be great to keep in touch.

I have been trying to discourage my husband from coming, We live in Arizona so I think I will just drive down. I think Larry will not have enough to do to keep him out of my hair!

@@Gaelsmom This whole 200+ page thread is full of everyone's personal experiences from having surgery at OCC. I highly recommend you go through and try to read the whole thread. I know there is a LOT to get through, but I definitely found reading the full thread to be very helpful in my decision making process.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
