I just got the call! I am approved! OMG!!! I am so excited..... I have been making myself crazy for weeks!

I didn't really even start this venture until mid-late summer and it really has happened so fast, but the wait for that call has been horrendous. I still have to wait for the scheduling call now, which could be next week, but at least I know this is going to happen!

Thank goodness! 38 years of fighting for results that don't last, now even though I have to fight for my life; it will be worth it and hopefully maintenance in the end will be the only fight I have left.

So glad I have a place to share, even though no may listen; it's still an outlet - so thank you!

I have decided not to tell family except husband and my kids. This is my on going journey and I don't want anyone clouding my decisions or judgements.

Congratulations!!I too received my approval after initially being filed Nov. 5th. Called EVERY day since and finally after the surgeon's office provided the fax confirmation, the insurance company admitted that it was misfiled and a supervisor had it sent for review today. They called back within 10 minutes and provided a reference #. Same as you, just waiting for a scheduler to call now. Excited and nervous all at the same time. Good Luck to you!!!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
