Anyone having surgery January 2016?



Recommended Posts

Hi everyone, my surgery date is scheduled for January 5th. Anyone else having surgery then? I could have gotten it done sooner but my hubby can get time off easier if it's after the holidays. I've got my pre op appt with my surgeon on December 3rd, and my nutrition class on December 7th. I'm so excited!

I think that I will probably have my surgery in January, but I'm not scheduled yet. I've completed all of the requirements of my program (nutrition classes and counseling) and my insurance requirements (six month medically supervised diet), except for a sleep study. As soon as I get the sleep study done, they will be able to appy for insurance authorization and schedule. I'm thinking mine will be later in January, but I'll have to wait and see.

I'm a January baby! :) Not scheduled yet but appt with surgeon Dec. 17th to schedule and then final NUT appt Dec. 29th. I'm hoping for January 19th or after as that's when I have officially been at my job a year and qualify for FMLA.

I hope to! I don't have a date yet, but I've finished all my requirements except the nutrition class. I am waiting until January because I'll have better insurance.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
