I am July 11. I am SOO excited. Anyone else have to pay $390 out of pocket before they do surgery? I have NV medicaid.

LOL... I have to pay $3300 because that is my out-of-pocket max for my insurance.

I had my surgery July 6th! You'll be great, guys. The bowel prep wasn't nearly as bad as I had anticipated. The stuff wasn't exactly gross, but it was very strong. I had it through a thick straw over ice and took 30 minutes to drink 15 oz of it. I was able to play video games between toilet visits. The next morning I woke up, brushed my teeth carefully (so I didn't swallow any), and wore an optimistic t-shirt to the hospital. They took me back at 11:11, and I had to wait until after 3 to roll out to surgery. This is when I was the most scared. But then they gave me "margarita mix" happy drugs to help me relax, then the anesthesia hit and I woke up in recovery in under 2 hours. I slept a lot right after, but they had me get up and walk twice that evening. I spent 2 nights in the hospital, walking every hour and sipping fluids after I passed an upper GI to make sure I had no leaks. I wish you all the best! :D

Edit to add: I gained about 5 pounds from all the fluids they pumped into me. Don't weigh yourself when you get home unless you can handle seeing a gain. It's just because you're super hydrated!

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.
