Mine is scheduled for April 25th. I'm super excited but nervous too!

I'm on the 10th and feel exactly the same way...very excited and nervous, too. I can't wait or the 10th to get here, but am scared, too. This has all happened kind of fast. I saw the dr last fall and then put off seeing the psychiatrist. I finally decided to see him and made an apt for Mar 25th. A few days later, the surgeons office called and BAM I'm scheduled for surgery! Kind of a whirlwind after a lot of feet dragging! I am ready tho. So glad that I don't have to go thru this alone.

I started the process in October of last year. It all went pretty quick until every thing got submitted to insurance then it slowed way down. It felt like it took forever to get approval. But it finally was :). I got a call last friday to schedule my surgery date and now I can't wait I want the 25th to be here. Lol. Good luck with yours, keep me posted on how it goes :)

Hi , I bet you are ready. I started to have the procedure 3 years ago and change my mind because I wanted to give the weight loss one last chance with diet and exercise. No luck. So I went for my nutritional visit and I have my psy eval on Wednesday. I hoping to have everything in place for June and I will have the summer to get in order before I gobkack to work

      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? 🤷‍♀️
