its normal to be nervous! but you dont have to be i promise! this procedure is done all day almost evryday and growing more and more popular each year. these guys know what there doing. my surgery was only about 45mins and it was the best decision i have EVER made! you will look back on this day and smile because your new life will be different. everyone gets nervous before any kind of surgery where u go under, but you will be OK :) whens your surgery??

Good luck ! Hope all gos smooth and I know its nerve racking to go for any kind of surgery and there isnt much that will calm you down until youv woke up and realize everything went as planned. Just try to keep your self doing things to keep your mind off of it, read books, magazines, talk to friends, plan ahead styles and looks you will be able to ware that you'v always liked and couldnt wear because they dont make them in our sizes !

I had my surgery Monday evening and I feel great! A little sore and my shoulder hurts a bit but its not like an exagerated pain. The bigger incision hurts and the others dont even hurt at all.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
