Hi everyone!! I am currently in the process of the Gastric Sleeve procedure! I have already completed my nutrition evaluation, my exercise fitness evaluation, and psychological evaluation. I also had a sleep study done, due to have suspected sleep apnea. Turns out I have obstructive sleep apnea. Besides having OSA, I have have a ventricular septal defect with an abnormal heart murmur, which I need 1 comorbidity seeing as my BMI is under 40 and at 38. I have Anthem (PPO) and the requirements are 3 months of supervised weight loss management, which my last day would be towards the end of Oct. My surgeon is very positive that I will be approved and should be able to schedule in November, fingers crossed. Everyone I have seen from the nutritionist, the psychologist, and my surgeon, they are all very very positive that I will be having this surgery done. Even when I saw my surgeon last week to go over the results from the evaluations he said the next time I would be seeing him is in the OR, so I am trying to very hopeful and very positive about it but having to wait on the insurance company to say if you are approved or not is making me stress out. Any tips or helpful words to get through this next 2 months?

Oops I'm in the last month of the supervised visit. I have my psychological evaluation scheduled for next month. I had the sleep study done just waiting to go back and do the follow up. I have to wait until after the evaluation gets sent to the doctor before it can be sent to the insurance. Everyone keeps saying the same thing to me as well. That it will get approved and we can schedule it for November.

      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.
