I have to do 7 appts pre-op with the surgeon. So far I've seen Cardio 3 times, Pulmonology twice, had 2 sleep studies (with and without cpap), and will see my endocrinologist once, will have my endoscopy along with nut and psych on 01/27. I'll also see my primary once more before we submit to insurance in February.

How many times do you see each dr??

I went to each Dr once. Cardo, psyc, pcp, surgeon. Went to my nut classes for 6 months and now have a surgery Date for 1/31. Month of January will be busy with Dr appts for pre-op stuff but only with the surgeon and his staff.

For me, all my drs talk. Their all in the same network. So if 1 Dr does blood work, they all get it. So this helped the surgeon a lot.

And if you have IG, follow me at thenewdanni_rny

Once. I went to Mexico! So much easier than dealing with all of the doctor issues and insurance issues. The real bonus? I got to choose my surgeon instead of my "network" choosing.

It really depends on your insurance and also the clinic that you are having surgery with. I had monthly primary care doctor visits and nutritionist visits for three months. I also saw the surgeon twice during that time. I had an additional surgeon visit and nutritionist visit the week before surgery. In the past 5 weeks since surgery I have seen the surgeon twice and the nutritionist twice. I had to sign a contract with them that I will see them each every three months for the next year and annually after that. Lots of visits! :)

If you go to a certified weight level as center you will be given the same quality of care as any other patient.

There are plenty of surgery mills that will happily do major surgery and send you on your way, hopefully you would get a sheet of diet instructions on your way out the door.

      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.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!
