How exciting for her - and you -- she will be happy to have you there ... all will be well. She'll be in great hands and at a great hospital. I will keep you in my prayers.

I think the reason Dr. Aceves is doing surgery on a Sunday is that he was attending a conference in Texas, so I am sure he has a backlog of surgeries that people want to get done.

We'll look for your posts -- tell "Jaffa's wife" to enjoy her last meal :lol0:

We just had a last meal!!!! The testing went fast, and we are getting ready for bed. Surgery tomorrow at 9.

The Italian Restaurant was a very good. I at too much but, she loved it....I have lefter overs for tomorrow.

We also met up with another sleeve patient that is getting sleeved. It is someone who has posted, but I won't say, because they may or may not want it posted. I will error on the cautions side on this one. She is a really nice person.

The both get sliced and diced tomorrow.

I know, not what people want to hear....LOL

The other person is here all by herself. She is a lot tougher then my wife. My wife wouljd have run like the wind. I'm going to spend tomorrow helping them both.

Well, actaully today since it is now morning.

Surprisingly the hospital was very busy yesterday. The waiting room was full when we first walked in. It took about 15 minutes to get urine, bloood, ekg, an chest exam. Then about an hour on paper work and talking to DR Aceves. I even learned a couple of things I had't ever hear.

Dr Aceves, has only two sleeves tomorrow, so it is any easy day for him. Both are fresh nich stomachs.

Jaffa Steve,

That is so nice of you to take care of both ladies. Tell ya what, when the rest of us that are waiting get our sleeve dates we will let you know. Then since you will be so experienced you can come and take care of us. Maybe your wife could rent you out on this board. LOL

No kidding, it is nice of you to care for them both. Keep on posting with the updates.

Judy

You are such a sweetheart! But I think that is because you are from Des Moines. ;o)

Seriously, you are a nice guy. The other lady having surgery is lucky to have you. It can be spooky having surgery alone, but with you and your wife there she isn't alone.

You are very cool, Jaffa!

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

      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? 🤷‍♀️
