I guess my guy is a 1 in a Billion these days. He is so super supportive & his only concern with this whole process is how hot I will look after a yearish. He is worried I will want to be with someone else & I keep reassuring him that is NOT the case. We have been together 24 years & Married 23. I am 46 & he is 51. No way do I want to start all over with someone else. HW: 312 March 2020 Gallbladder surgery weight: 287 CW: 266.4 been staying on 1000-1300 calorie since I had my surgery date of 7/17/2021 which got cancelled because of my Insurance saying I had more to do to qualify.... [emoji34][emoji43] Still waiting for a Surgery date.... Sent from my LM-Q730 using BariatricPal mobile app -

Why isn't he on board with the surgery? Does he not want you to be healthier etc...? My hubby has been on board since we found out I am at a 52 BMI & I have an overly fatty liver. He has been to all my appointments with me and heard everything the Dr, Dietitian, Cardiologist, & Psychologist has had to say... He is even planning to do the liver shrink diet with me once COVID allows my surgery. I hope yours comes around soon. Praying for Yall. Sent from my LM-Q730 using BariatricPal mobile app -

Still Jumping through hoops for Ins
wlh75 replied to wlh75's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Insurance just recently informed me I had to show a current A1c & I had to have proof of 5 more Dr visits before they will approve. Dr office said same but it has to also be a total of 6 months not 3 months. So I did my blood work & talked with my Primary Care about 5 past visits where we discussed my weight & what I needed to do; they are submitting that info & my blood work. Fingers crossed & with God on my side, I pray I have an update next week...

Surgery will be in San Antonio as soon as I can get a Definite Date, still in limbo there because of "low staff & beds" at the Methodist Hospitals... {Had a surgery date for 7-17-2021} Dr is Dr. A. Kumar, same Dr that did my Gallbladder in March 2021. Can't hardly wait for a Date... Sent from my LM-Q730 using BariatricPal mobile app

Surgery was scheduled for 7/17 & today 7/14 I got a call from central scheduling & my Dr's office that the hospital is under staffed & has no beds.... What a sad day... [emoji24][emoji24][emoji24][emoji24] I was trying to get this all done & be onto stage 3 by the time school started. Now I have no clue when it will be rescheduled for...

I had emergency gallbladder surgery about a month ago. I found out I had a BMI of over 50, & a fatty liver. My gallbladder surgeon highly recommends gastric sleeve surgery. He does bariatric surgeries as well as general. Yay me... I have begun my journey; I had my 1st dietitian appointment, done my upper GI scope, have a cardiologist appointment this week & a follow up to the upper GI this week. I am waiting to find out about the sleep study and have 2-3 more appointments with the dietitian before surgery... Was wondering what the best pre & post Op protein shakes are best as well as liquid & chewable vitamins are recommended..... Sent from my LM-Q730 using BariatricPal mobile app
