Today was my post op appt (surgery was 7/21). Dr gave me the clear to go to Zumba, so I took myself to class. Did low impact but survived the whole class. Pretty proud of myself, along with the 20lbs I lost since surgery! Sending well wishes to all July sleevers!

Dr's offices are not going to be very understanding about a 'double booking' - just tell her it is against HIPPA laws - confidentiality and all that. And then stop thinking about her issues and concentrate on yourself, this is a distraction ad will not help you on your journey. Stop sharing your appointment dates with her, stop sharing the details, just say you are still thinking about some things and when you have a decision that is when you will share, then just keep that up.....she will get the message unless she is the type of person that requires a '2x4' upside the head, metaphorically speaking You don't need this type of friend setting you up for issues. Good luck.

I'm using Dr Taggar with Bariatrix Florida and Coral springs medical center. They had a great self pay package. Sent from my XT1254 using BariatricPal mobile app

Yes! But I'm afraid of the OR. My emergency c section 26 years ago was traumatic. I just put my bag in the car, and we are heading to Florida after work for surgery on Friday. It finally seems real. Just breathe and remember why you're doing this. From what I have read, our feelings are totally normal. Sent from my XT1254 using BariatricPal mobile app

Good luck!

Here's a nice article, science based, about where I get my proteins from, having a Whole Foods plant based diet. https://nutritionfacts.org/topics/protein/

Last week, my surgeon told me that pills wouldn't be a problem. Just don't take them the morning of surgery.

thank you for the feedback. i havent cheated once on the pre op. just that alone makes me proud lol

I wish I had done this years ago. It was a perfect fit for me. I have never been a snacker only a binge eater, my brother had gastric sleeve two weeks before I did and he lost about 30 lbs right away but has struggled ever since because he is a snacker eating often and also drinking calories. If you are a snacker and can't deal with that than gastric sleeve is not for you. I am happy with not having a great deal of loose skin, but I do have some in my lower belly and groin area. Gonna have that skin removed. Skin over my back and arms and legs is just a little loose but not sagging like my lower belly, but I think I am one of the lucky ones with that.,
