A bunch of steps forward and one step back



Recommended Posts

So things are moving along nicely. I have met with my surgeon and he is awesome!! I do have to travel 3 hours one way to see him but his group is the only one in the state of Idaho that is approved by my insurance and that's ok with me.

I have met with the psych and he gave me a green light

I have my prep classes scheduled for the next couple weeks

Everything has been going fantastically until today. I found out that of the 3.5 years worth of appointments that I have been seeing my PCP he only has notes for 3 visits that we talked about diet and exercise. My insurance needs 6 months. I'm more annoyed at his lack of notes than the added time. I had fully planned on 6 full months of visits because I didn't know that my insurance would allow back dated visits. But after talking to my surgeon he is like oh we can do this by the end of the year! But then we found out that my doc SUCKS at keeping good notes.

Oh well February is sooner than April!

Hi there. I'm also in Idaho. The St Luke's team have been amazing. You will get many after care programs. I'm not sure you have time to participate. A 3 hour drive would wipe me out.

Hang in there. You have the pr-op class coming up. I understand it feels like things are moving slow. Get ready to hang on for the ride...after a year you will look back at how quickly time has passed.

They actually have support groups in Twin Falls so that will be a MUCH shorter drive!! They have been super fantastic to work with.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
