I just have to finish my doctor monitored diet they are having me redo 3 appointments because my doctor didn't note 3 appointments correctly so to be safe they are having me redo them.

Definitely have to play it safe with the insurance. It would not be a good thing to give them any excuse not to pay up. Lol

Who is your surgeon, if you don't mind me asking. I had met with a few before I came here.

I'm not in Springs but I'm not too far away in Pueblo. I haven't had the sleeve yet but I'm starting the process. I have my initial visit with the surgeon on July 21st.

I'm having to go all the way to Parker for a surgeon. Apparently there aren't any surgeons in Springs that take medicaid.

@@WitchySar I'm sorry that you have to go all the way to parker. BUT that is great that you will be able to have the procedure with medicaid. I don't think they always covered it before. I used to live in Parker. I loved it there. Are you going to parker adventist?

Yes, Parker Adventist with Dr Long. I think medicaid has been approving bariatric surgery for at least about 4 years. The approval requirements page is dated from 2012. I can believe they didn't cover it before that though. Seems so silly too that insurance wouldn't cover something that can save them money in the long run and save lives.

@@WitchySar parker adventist is a great facility. I'm sure the drive seems quite long since you are driving from Pueblo but it will be well worth it! I am glad that you are able to use medicaid. That seems about the right time frame. When I was looking at having surgery years ago, there was a gal in our group that had a hard time getting medicaid to pay. Maybe they have changed the requirements since then. Do you have any other medical factors contributing?

Aside from a very high bmi I also have hbp that my primary can't get controlled with meds, as well as major problems with my knees and ankles.

I'm glad to hear that Parker Adventist is nice. I'm so nervous and excited. I just want to get started and get it over with. lol

I completely understand the desire to get started. I have a high BMI too. 62. Yikes. I do t have any other medical concerns but I am starting to feel the stress in my knees and hips. What day is your surgery again?

      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.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!
