I live in the Oak Grove area around Westover intersection. I was just banded a week ago on 10/24 and my husband was banded on the same day. So do you have a day? Are you having it done at the Surgery Center at the clinic? Do you have support having it done?

If you want to email me instead, please do... its lauradevans@gmail.com.

We do have a support group that meets at the clinic once a month. Last on was on the 23rd so I'm not sure when the next is... it was our first to go to.

I know it's scary and you are on Pre-Op liquids... I've been there, hang in, you can do it. SF popciles got me through. What are you drinking?

Fruit? What kind? I drank EAS adn others... you may be ready and not have any questions but if you do and you wanna meet sometime over the weekend, just let me know. Not sure if you drink coffee but we could meet at BAM or Starbucks. I know even though my husband and I did it together, I had lots of questions and wanted to talk and chat to anyone who had been through it and like a typical man... he didn't want to talk much about it... LOL.

I'm excited for you.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
