Hsbower,

I didn't have a waiting period. I just had to have a review of my medical records proving my weight for the last 3 years.

I have blue cross

Hsbower, why r u going to a surgeon in Richmond

I'm going to a surgeon in Richmond because that group is under my umbrella as far as insurance goes. I just feel really comfortable so far with them.

I totally understand. Good luck. Are you getting the sleeve or gastric bypass?

I think I'm leaning towards sleeve

Holly, the sleeve has been good to me but my friend had the bypass and got to goal in six months. Just putting it out there.

Smb1966 that's awesome, you're doing great! You should try the support groups at Sentara Weight Loss Center in Norfolk! I agree, way too far and too much traffic to drive to NN!

Thank you. Do you know if Sentara has them at any location other than Harbour View? I will call someone this week to find out, everything I see online refers to HV and that's pretty far to go as well.

I don't know where HV is but I know there's a support group that meets at the center in Norfolk-it's down the street from Sentara Leigh Hospital if that helps!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
