I will be getting my surgery (gastric sleeve) with doctor spivak next week on Wednesday, and I am

so nervous I have never had any surgeries in my life do that is the reason why I am nervous.

Is anyone or has anyone on this forum a patient of dr spivak(Houston Tx)?

wish me luck!!:rolleyes:

wish I could be right there with you. think of it as something VERY interesting. You'll be fine. You've made it this far: I think the hardest part was deciding to actually do it. I'm awaiting my surgery date. You are fortunate! Just stay busy until then-----read up on all things nutritional, and go for it! Best of luck to you!

Hi, good luck to us both - I am scheduled for 3/25 with Dr. Kelly. I fly on Thursday with surgery on Friday. I am getting nervous, but excited as well. We will both be fine. My last surgery was appendix when I was seven - they still used ether- LOL, I know I am so old... I am sure this will be better.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
