Super excited that I just got approved, surgery is Monday 2/1

Wow! That was a pretty close approval to your surgery! When did they submit the paperwork? Good luck!!!

They submitted it 1/21 and I called the last few days and they kept saying it's pending. Well this morning I called and asked for the reviewing department and I spoke with an individual and explained to him that I'm due to have surgery on 2/1 and he told me he was going to expedite it. Stated that I should hear something by the end of day today. Well I heard back within 4 hours. The wait is finally over.

MICHELLE RING!! Oh my goodness, I'm a high school Spanish teacher in western Mass having surgery Wed Feb 10th, planning on being in my classroom on Monday Feb 23rd. Let's stay in touch to see how it goes, I've been a bit concerned hoping I'm not in too much pain, discomfort, etc to do my job which as you know, is a really tough draining job. Good luck to US...!!!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
