I am now less than a week away from surgery. Today, I stop all meds like lasix, asperin and such.. I am not looking forward to the day prior... I have a feeling there will be many trips for the bathroom on that day. LOL:lol:

I am both excited and nervous about this whole thing. I hope that is normal.

Tomorrow will be my last supper, so to speak. My wife and I are going out for Asian dining. I can only hope after I will still be able to eat a little asian foods. Time will tell.

So, if this nervous/excited state is a norm... I would like to hear from you.:tongue:

Hi all,

I just scheduled all my appointments for my dietician and psych. All in all, I have to be seen 7 times before I can submit to Medica! Crazy. And all along with a hefty $45 copay!

Anyone know when they will tell me what I have to pay? I have 80/20, so it isnt all covered. but i would like to know what to expect!

THanks!

I have Medica also and Friday is my first appointment so I guess I'll be going thru a similar runaround to get approved.

      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.
