Recommended Posts

Hi Everyone! I'm new to the site. Waiting for Insurance approval, and I'm so Excited. Been trying to get my chewables and Protein powders figured out, there are so many options. Been looking for support groups in Vegas and can't find any, so if anyone knows of any please reply.

Lastly if anyone has any tips for pre-op and post-op that would be helpful, please share with me :thumbup:

I LOVE Vegas!!! Unfortunately I'm not from there, I'm from the frozen arm pit of Idaho :blushing:

But, DH and I will be in Vegas next weekend. I can hardly wait! He's never been there but I visited several times. I am literally counting down the hours.

I am not banded yet either. I dropped off all the paperwork and regular doctor history to the New U center at the hospital today so I'm crossing my fingers!

Anyway, I just wanted to say hi and welcome!

Hi Denise, my name is Annie. Congratulations on getting your surgery! I can't wait to get my Insurance approval, I'm SO ready. I go to Dr. Umbach's office. How are you feeling? Which Hospital did you go to? Did you have to stay overnight? Did you have to join the gym?

Hope to hear from you soon!:blushing:

      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? 🤷‍♀️
