All of my paperwork was submitted Friday to United. Surgery will hopefully be end of August early September. All depends how long I have to play the waiting game with insurance. I am really nervous and excited to finally start this new adventure. It has been a long journey and I wish I wouldn't have waited this long.

I'm with united too, and just waiting to hear back from them.. Doctor office said 5-7 days and that was last Thursday.. I'm anxious to get finished and onto a better life.

I called United for an update today and told them that I would like a decision sooner than later because my mom is going to fly out here to help with the kids. The lady was super nice and said she would attach a note to my claim and put it in high priority. She said they should have an answer within 24-72 hours. Mindy, maybe our surgery dates will be close. It would be nice to have someone to talk to that is going through the same changes at the same time.

That would be great.. I'm hoping soon. I have 3 teenagers starting high school at the end of the month, and my husband needs to schedule time off work.. Are you on the Facebook page for August dates..

No. I didn't realize that there was one. I will have to check that out.

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

      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? 🤷‍♀️
