When was all your paperwork submitted to the insurance company and how soon after did you get your surgery date

Submitted Feb. 13th, approved Feb. 21st, Surgery date Feb. 23rd.. I was calling my insurance company every day to see if I was approved. Once it got approved I called my Dr office immediately and got the ball rolling

Hi all - March 15 is my date. I will have my lap band removed and then the bypass. I'm excited but nervous, too. I'm wondering about excess skin after weight loss and what others did about it.

My revision to Bypass is 3/28. I had a Vertical Gastric Banding done in 2000 and lost weight but have had tons of complications since and have gained some weight back due to complications etc. Upon losing the weight after VGB I had a 360 done in 2005 as well as a brachioplasty, thighplasty and breast lift. You can write me privately should I be able to answer some questions for you.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
