Both of my denied letter stated that I didn't have enough evidence of weight loss history. I had 6 months of food logs, dietician notes, etc. We also submitted notes from my PCP for the last 4 years. My surgeons office called them after the 2nd letter and I was approved within 24 hours after that. I had given up and looking at Mexico. Yikes

@@wyominggirl How did it go? How are you feeling?

My surgery was postponed until the 22nd. Today is post op 1 week and I feel great. I did have a hiatal hernia repaired. I am struggling to get the required amount of Fluid in but everyday gets better. I am on stage one until the 4th and can't wait to be able to taste something else. How about you?

Well good for you. Yes, the first couple weeks are trying... Hang in there & trust me when I say FIGHT THE URGES. You'll want to cheat, just sneak something here & there, but it's not worth it.

I also had a hiatal hernia repaired. I had horrible acid reflux with bad night time cough. 4 drs & only my surgeon thought about a possible hernia Causing it all.

Sleeved 11/18. Highest weight 291. Current weight 248! Hang In there & reach out when you're feeling tempted or weak.

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.
