@@roni56 Assuming you are getting surgery because you are morbidly obese or obese with comorbities - the chance of dying prematurely from obesity related disease is much greater than mortality rates from surgery. You're doing this so you will have many healthy years with your little girl! Good luck!

What do you have left to do? And have you got any of the Vitamins?

I hope you meant to ask me...

I have samples that the nutritionist gave me but no I have not gotten my Vitamins. Honestly I'm trying to figure out what will meet the requirements but still be cost efficient because I don't want to spend a bunch of money monthly for vitamins.

I have nothing left to do except for whatever they do preop. I start my diet tomorrow. Other than that I'm just waiting until the date. You?

Omg I need to do everything.. Medical clearance, X-ray, ekg, bloodwork.. And I have my preop on the 1st.. And my class on the 24..

My doctors office wouldn't give me a date until I had all of my evaluations done. I had to be cleared by the nutritionist, and the psychologist first. My insurance had to approve me first too. My insurance company has assigned a case manager nurse whom has had the surgery as well so I can ask her all the questions!

I guess that's why I'm not nervous because I'm pretty much there. My biggest hurdle will be this pre op diet for the next three weeks!

@@charmming i has my psych evaluation and the medical necessity letter plus 3 month of nutritionist for my insurance to approve 2.. But the medical clearance and the blood work it has to be a list 1 month old and I just finish my nutritionist app like 1 week ago so the surgery is moving pretty fast for me.!!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
