Got banded on Friday July 5! I actually have a gym at my complex that I use. But after 6 weeks of full healing and release from my doctor then I am getting a personal trainer . By then I would have had my fill and will b good to go . I know where Dynamic is. Was thinking of this boxing gym on Hwy 6 . Or LA fitness...

After your last appt with true results , your surgeon office will call to set up your pre op appt. who is doing your surgery ? Dr. Reilly did mine. He's amazing !

I also will have dr. Reilly. Let me know if you end up training at dynamic fitness. ... I strongly recommend Nick. I'd have to look up his last name. I think there may be two Nicks.

I felt fine. I had no pain just from the gas. I was able to drink my Clear Liquids from day one. You are just 3 days out so your stomach is still swollen and you aren't suppose to drink per say but take sips. What do you mean you are unable to drink anything? You have no appetite or it comes up when you drink?

Ladies I am so happy my fill is 3 days away. I tell you once that swelling goes down from the surgery you are back to your old self cause you can eat anything. Try to be good and make good choices so you don't gain the weight back before your fill. I pray I hit that green zone with this first fill.

The trainers are $ 30 per half hour if you sign up for 12 months. I can't remember the other options. ... that is the one I went with.... so 19.99 a month for membership and $120 per month for trainer. Honestly the trainer is what makes my time at the gym worth while. I also signed my granddaughter up for a membership. She is 6. They have class twice a week. She does kick boxing, dancing, and a bit of yoga. Its super cute to watch and keeps me motivated to have a workout buddy. She and I go Monday and Wednesday, then I meet with Nick on Friday. I am setting myself up for success by setting aside time that is scheduled for the gym. That way I don't cop out if I have a headache or feel droopy. I still have to go! Im tentatively scheduled for sept 6 band day :) nicks number is 832-527-0215 you might be able to work with him outside of the gym.

Hi cassandra. Congrats on the band! Are you in sugar land too? I hope you hit green zone easily. How long was it before you could drive ? I am trying to plan how long to take off from work. Secretary.

Hi there, no I am not in Sugarland I am on the NE side of Houston. I drove the third day. I am lucky because im a teacher and have the summer off. I hear everyone say just listen to your body. I am a hard head and cant be down long but if you feel up to it and don't have to do a lot of walking and heaving lifting or on your feet for long periods of time do what you need to do . You know what I mean

      Four days post surgery. I am sipping as fast as I can and getting NO WHERE near the goal of 60 - 80 grams of protein or the 64 oz of liquids. I just feel FULL. I don't know if it can still be the gas build up (I would think by now that would be gone) but it is a struggle to drink. And so far I have not had the nausea or spasms and don't want to wander into that territory by pushing too hard with liquids. I about passed out today as it was my most "strenuous" day. Went from second story to basement for shower and I was sure I was going to pass out. Looking back on my last few days I have had a total of less than 1000 calories. Am I just not getting enough nourishment in me? Once again a friday where I can't get ahold of the doc until Monday rolls back around so I am hoping maybe someone here has some experience on how to keep energy going. I do have fibromyalgia too and that may be where some added fatigue comes into play. How did you all fair with the goals the week after surgery?

      2 days until I fly out to San Diego to have my Bypass Surg. in Tiajuana Mexico. Not gonna lie, the nerves are starting to surface. I don't fear the surgery itself, or the fact that I'm traveling alone, but its the aftermath that I'm stressing about the most, after this 8 week wait. I'm excited to finally be here, but I am really dreading the post surgical chapter. I know its going to be tough, real tough and I think I'm just in my head to much now that the day i here. Wish me luck, Hopefully I'm one of the lucky ones, and everything goes smoothly. Cant wait to give an exciting update,. If there is anyone else have a June bypass or even a recent one, Id love to have someone to compare war stories with. Also, anyone near San Antonio Tx? See ya soon with the future me. 💜

        I'm in Houston so kind of near you and had the sleeve in Dec. Down 61 lbs. Feeling better. Was definitely worth it. I hope the everything is going well for you. Update us when you can!

        I am back home after my bypass surgery in Tiajuana. I'm post op day 4. Everything went great! I guess I'm one of the lucky ones who have not encountered much pain at all, no nausea thus far and I'm having no problem keeping down broths and water. Thank you for your well wishes. I cant wait to keep up this journey and have a chance at better health and simply better quality of life. I know there will be bumps in the road ahead, and everything won't be peaches and cream, but at least I have a great start so far. 😍

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

        I'm so happy for you! You are about to change your life. I was so glad to get the sleeve done in Dec. I didn't have feelings of regret overall. And I'm down almost 60 lbs. I do feel a little sad at restaurants. I can barely eat half a kid's meal. I get adults meals often because kid ones don't have the same offerings at times. Then I feel obligated to eat on that until it's gone and that can be days. So the restaurant thing isn't great for me. All the rest is fine by me! I love feeling full with very little. I do wish I could drink when eating. And will sip at the end. Just a strong habit to stop. But I'm working on it! You will do fine! Just keep focused on your desire to be different. Not better or worse. But different. I am happy both ways but my low back doesn't like me that heavy. So I listened (also my feet!). LOL! Update us on your journey! I'm not far from you. I'm in Houston. Good luck and I hope it all goes smoothly! Would love to see pics of the town you go to for this. I've never been there. Neat you will be traveling for this! Enjoy the journey. Take it one day at a time. Sometimes a few hours at a time. Follow all recommendations as best you can. 💗

        Thank you so much for your well wishes. I am hoping that everything goes easy for me as well. We don't eat out much as it is, so it wont be too bad in that department. Thankfully. Also, I hear you regarding your back and feet!! I'd like to add knees to the list. Killing me as we speak! I'm only 5' so the weight has to go. Too short to carry all this weight. Menopause really did a doosey on me. (😶lol) My daughter also lives in Houston. with her Husband and my 5 grand-littles. I grew up in Beaumont, so I know Houston well, I will be sure to keep in touch and update you on my journey. I may need some advice in the future, or just motivation. Thank You so much for reaching out, I was hoping to connect with someone in the community. I really appreciate it. 💜
