Hello, I do not have a band date, I am going through the process now with all the doctor appointments etc...

They tell me if all goes well they are looking at mid to end of April. I wish you luck! I am very nervous happy b/c I see light at the end of the tunnel.

Its so good to see more April people! As it gets closer I'm really starting to get excited! I'm counting the days, and trying to eat better. I'm trying to start replacing meals with Protein Shakes, too, hoping that helps later. B)

I have my last 6 month "supervised Visit" on March 10th. Then I just have to wait for insurance approval. The doctors office is telling me probably mid to end of April for my surgery! Can't wait!

I am just waiting for my final approval from my insurance company. My doctor believes we will have surgery scheduled by the end of this month or beginning of next. I would love to be able to share experiences with you guys! Good luck everyone!

I am set to have surgery Monday, April 4th. No pre-op diet to follow other than typical no food/drink after midnight the day of. I have been testing out a few Protein shakes since I know I will need them post-op and I have been pleased that they really do fill me up. More than I thought they would anyway! I have actually brought some Protein powder and fat free milk with me to work today to have for lunch. I am so tired of my clothes not fitting that I am going to start replacing some of my meals now. Anything will help at this point.

Anyway...I am looking forward to chatting with you guys and hearing what is working or not working for everyone as we all go thru this journey.

Hi everyone! My appointment with the surgeon is March 29,2011. I will find out my surgery date then. The nurse told me they are scheduling 2-3 weeks out from PreOp date.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
