Hi! I'm a newbie from Lexington and submitted all of my paperwork to Dr. Weiss' office about two weeks ago. I hope their offices call next week for my initial appointment. I'm so anxious to get the ball rolling! :)

Thankfully my insurance (Anthem BCBS) will cover 80% of the surgery so, if I'm approved, will only have to come out of pocket for a few thousand dollars. I'm just worried that I'll have to wait 6 or 7 months to find out if I can have the surgery.

Did Dr. Weiss' office provide a lot of information when they first called you or did you have to wait until your first appointment to have all of your questions answered?

{Sorry, I meant to directly reply to Audrey's post!} :)

Once I submitted my paperwork they called within 2 weeks. I also have anthem and I was required to do a 6 month physician supervised diet. I just finished and submitted to Dr Weiss' ofc, and I received my pre auth for surgery within a week. I'm now waiting for them to call for my appt with Dr Weiss and discuss surgery date. I started the process in April. It's a long process but it's gonna be so worth it!

Waiting for surgery date...

      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? 🤷‍♀️
