Think this depends on your insurance... I had a marathon day like that too, it got several things crossed off the insurance checklist but not all of them... I spoke with the insurance coordinator today she said once all the paperwork is in her hand she will submit to insurance... I think they give a dummy date for that purpose...

Thank you..the lady in charge of making sure the insurance is in order said she thinks all my paperwork is in order and I should be all set with insurance. Just wondered if it is a pretty quick process to get a date if all paperwork is in order and insurance is good to go. I am being anxious I know.....

My psych appointment (which was just a half hour face to face interview about family and medical history and my willingness to comply) was separate from my other appointments.

After all the appointments were done, my compliance packet was sent in on the Thursday before Thanksgiving and approved on the Monday before Thanksgiving. My surgery was schedule for the next available date which was December 23rd (2013).

I think the other factor I forgot to mention is how booked up the surgeon is... All my paperwork should be ready within the next few days... The insurance person told me my doctor doesn't have an opening until July 18 or July 28, he's going on vacation.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
