Hello everyone.! I am still in the pre-op early phase. I've met with the surgeon last week 07/21/16. I start my first month of my 6 month waiting period required by my insurance in 2 weeks. 6 months seems like such a long time but I will be patient and absorb all the information and advice that will help prepare me for this life change. Any advice from those who had/have to wait 6 months or longer on how to remain patient and what to do in the meantime would be great.! :)

Hi. I started my 6 months waiting period in may with anticipated surgery in November. My focus have been on training myself to eat slower, reduced carbs, increased Protein, and increased exercise. Let's not forgot, increase Water. Simply put, I am preparing my mind and body for the BIG change. I am taking time to read everything I can find on VSG . .. the good, the bad, and the ugly. I downloaded the gastric sleeve book off of bariatric pal website. It has been instrumental in providing information from the beginning of the process to post op.

I was a little inpatient initially, but each time I met my nutritionist, I learned more of changes I needed to make; this allows me plenty of time to get my "house" in order.... mentally and physically. Good luck to you. Stay strong and stay uplifted.

Thank you for that.! I'm trying to look at the 6 month wait as an advantage and not a burden. Your reply has helped with that. Thanks again and good luck with your journey as well. You are off to an amazing start.

      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.
