Recommended Posts

:)Good morning everyone, I am finally getting the process underway:whoo:I went to my first consult with the surgeon on Friday the 28th as well as to get cleared with the pulmonologist the same day and was cleared!!!!!! So now all I have to do is see the pysicologist and nutritionist to get approval. Well I know that will be fine, I am just worried about the insurance hope they will approve soon:confused: I have no medical problems associated with the weight but my family history is pretty bad. I just don't want to end up with all those problems. does anyone know if maybe my insurance will approve me based just on my BMI Which is 48.1 alone? I know my insurance only needs to see the psch dr and nutritionist with a THS. I am just so nervous that they wont approve with no bad medical history! I have been this way all my life and have tried everything to lose weight been going on 17 years now since I was 12. I feel real positive some days but others i am so scarred they wont approve:faint:I cant wait to get this done. I am so happy I found this web site it has really been a big help to me and I look forward to meeting some new friends on here. Good luck to you all who are in the process like me and congrats to the ones who have already had their band put in :clap2:

I to have no medical problems except for my fatness and i was approved that doesn't mean anything tho cause insurance companys tend to nitpick if you know what i mean hope all goes well,

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.
