March 26th surgery



Recommended Posts

Hi everyone!!! I am so ready for surgery and a new way of life. I have to pay for the surgery myself since the insurance company refuses to budge but I know in the long run it'll be well worth it. It bothers me that you pay for insurance for years and years and when you finally want to use it they deny the claim. I won't gripe about it anymore, I will move forward and never look back. Gotta get ready for pretests at hospital so bye for now.:mellow:

Ditto for me!!!

sorry to hear your insurance has been so unwilling to help you get healthy, I completely agree with your take on it. They take your money for yrs, but when it comes time for you to move forward to be a healthier person they want to stand in your way.

Good luck tomorrow!!

Thank so sooo much Moondust....after a rocky start with the hospital everything went smoothly (just about 3 hrs behind schedule).

So far, other then feeling like Mike Tyson's sparing partner and not being able to find anything to help with the dry throat I'm feeling A-OK.

Thanks again for the good thoughts and prayers, I know I'm gonna need all of them I can get!!

mlfull,

Are you feeling better?

I know the dry throat didn't last too long for me. The sparing partner (lol!) feeling, well, I'm still a little tender.

glo13 and stareeide4u,

I hope you breezed right through!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
