I am starting my process as well. I met with my doctor yesterday. So I am in the process of scheduling the appointments and losing the required 20lbs on my own.

I just confirmed health insurance coverage and am awaiting paperwork in the mail. Once I send that in and the surgical center validates my insurance coverage, my first appointment will be scheduled. (So, I am WAY early in the process) :)

I'm early in the process too. I've met with the surgeon and had my seminar a few weeks ago. The following week I met with my NUT for the first of 3 visits. On Tuesday I have my psych eval. My requires 90 days with NUT will be August 31 then we can submit to insurance and get my endoscopy and X-ray scheduled as well as my surgery. Hoping to have surgery before October 1 as that's when my deductible will reset and I'm close to meeting it now!

Cool. The scheduler that called me said my insurance has no real requirements, so my timeframe will be dictated solely by what the hospital requires.

Super cool! I actually scheduled two appointments in one day, e.g. psych and Nutrition, in order to speed things up. Keep me updated and if i can help in any way, let me know!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
