Oh yeah. I spoke with Cheryl who scheduled the surgery. She was gonna put me in for Sept! But I told her I had just (yesterday!) booked and confirmed reservations for the last weekend in Sept. for a small trip for myself and my hubby. A much needed get away at that. I didn't want to be sore or anything since this will be my last chance to get away this year. So she scheduled it for the week after! Yahoo!!

I was just banded on Friday, 4/18. I had been seeing Psychologist and Dietician since 8/06. Took me forever to make the decision to go forward but once I did, everything came together very quickly. I saw Dr Haag on 1/31 and was approved by HNE on 3/25. I've had no problems with the office staff yet; they've called me back in a reasonable time.

Did anyone else have a post-op before the 6 week period?

I had my surgery Nov. 2008, with Dr, Haag. I have had nothing but positive things to say about him and the office. Dr. Haag has always been great with me giving me encouragement the whole time. I am very close to my goal now, and am actually finding it a little harder now to drop these last few pounds. That is why I came to this site for help! About the office.. don't get discouraged, just keep on calling, because the end result is sooooo worth it!:blink:

      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? 🤷‍♀️
