I’m waiting for the yay or nay from my insurance Company and if so, I’m hoping to have a date soon. Either February or March. We’ll see! Would like to keep tabs with you [emoji4][emoji4]

Hi linita, I'm waiting for call-back,or letter from my surgeon's office. Tenatively early-mid March RnY. Lets be friends, and you can ask me anything also. I'm in Central Ohio, 50 miles from Columbus where my surgeon and hospital, Mount Carmel, are located.

Sad story, check out my post Change Your Hospital, but I will not let this thwart me from my goal. Basically i got kicked to the curb by Mount Carmel, their 3 surgeons unexpectedly decided to not perform my surgery. The excuse I was given I do not accept. I have reapplied, 3 different bariatric programs, 1) a seminar on March 9th 2 )a seminar on March,10th 3) an appointment with an intake nurse April,10th . Of the 3 at this point I am leaning towards program #1 but will hear them all out and make a rational informed decision. My paperwork will all be transferred to the program of my choice, I did make sure of that. I will land upright, I will have my surgery and I will make those sons of Seabiscuit the horse eat their words. Under this meek mild Puddycat lies the heart of a lithe strong puma , golden and sleek. I will roar in victory when my day comes!!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
