Alabama sleevers?



Recommended Posts

That sounds close to me. We should meet up on the gulf coast, love it there. I am from south fla and have lived in northern ala for 7 years but still miss the Water, tropical weather. Oh, how was Thanksgiving at your relatives? Glad you are back and chatting again.

It was okay, and super happy to be home.

We'll definitely have to get together sometime. We love it here, and it would be fun to meet another sleevester.

My surgery is scheduled for Wed 3/3. I'm a mixture of scared and excited. Saw you had surgery in Dec, how are you doing? Any regrets?

Kabranda,

I remember being scared the closer it got to S date and had to just hope all went well and have confidence in my doctor. I had my husband with me and thank goodness, he remembered what actually happened! I have NO regrets whatsoever, even with the first few days being rough with nausea, all forgotten. I am losing weight steadily, some weeks nothing and then on down 2-3 lbs. I have so much energy and work out easily. Go to the pool and lift weights no prob. Did you go to a local doctor? I wish you well and let me know if you have any questions.

Dr. Facundus @ Alabama Surgical Assoc in HSV is doing my surgery - it is a Center of Excellence. I'm glad to be getting it done locally.

Tiffy,

That sounds great! Do you live near Eglin AFB? Isn't that near Pensacola? I went to school in Pensacola and loved that city. Anyway road trip coming up for sure!

Yeppers, we are smack dab in the middle between Pensacola and Destin.

I had my revision at Eglin. The husband is stationed out of Hurlburt Field, and we live off-base in Navarre. It's about a 40 minute drive to downtown Pensacola from our house.

My surgery is 3/3 and I'm taking a couple of weeks off work so April might be a little tight for me but I'll be in Gulf Shores, AL (6/11-6/18 I think) and Destin the last week of August.

I love that area and would love to meet up with you both if we can pull it off. Does anybody's significant/ DH play golf? The guys would have something to do while we gab or any suggestions?

We can shoot for May just whatever works out for all of us.

John doesn't golf, but he loves to fish. He's a country boy at heart. If I end up coming to y'all, it'll be a weekend away for me. I have to get away a couple times a year.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
