I'm just ready to get a date. Have my visit with my primary dr Wednesday and hopefully he will sign my approval letter so I can then schedule an appt with my surgeon and be able to schedule my surgery. I know I have to get some blood work done and a urine sample so I'm thinking I'll need another visit with my primary care dr before I receive that signature???? hoping I'll be able to have my surgery scheduled for next mt, too ready!!!

whoa bud!!!

in my experience it didn't go so quickly

you need that letter signed by doctor

then go through all the jumps, hurdles of insurance

after all is completed

then i think you will have surgeons office send to insurance for approval

now the above was what i had to do

maybe i misunderstood and you have already gotten approval??

doesn't sound that way

don't mean to rain on your parade

i think you have to slow down

if you meet the requirements, have the co-morbidities (msp)

you hopefully will "pass"

looked in dictionary for correct spelling of co-mor.....

couldn't find

my spell check doesn't give me the correct way to spell

any people that are "gooder" than me

take a bow

only being sarcastic, really

still love all of you, except....................

you know who you are :lol:

(only kidding!!!!)

hope you get your reply sooner than later

and surgery will be scheduled

good luck bud

My insurance already approved my surgery I been did everything I needed to get approval. Now all I need is my doctor to sign off. Not sure what he may request before doing so that's all.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
