So disappointed.....



Recommended Posts

I just got an email from the nurse at my surgeon's office. My sleep study was negative (yay) but that means I don't have 2 co-morbidities and I'm literally 2.2 lbs shy of qualifying for surgery. TWO POINT TWO POUNDS!!!!!! I could just cry...... dang insurance companies!

So sorry to hear that... Can you appeal?

Worse comes to worse, consider Mexico! The flight and the procedure alone is much cheaper than paying cash on the US side. (Just had mine done yesterday and had the same issues with my insurance on the US side. Zero regrets!)

Go back and get your weight done with a few extra clothes layers, at the end of the day, a week before your period starts. ?

Eat, eat, eat! Gain the few pounds and go get weighed again. Are you close to the end or just starting the process?

      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? 🤷‍♀️
