I know there are many having their surgeries today. I will be thinking of all of you. Two sleeve sisters from this site will be there at same time as me. I hope to be able to update that we are all great sometime late tonight. I can't believe this is finally happening!!

I am sitting in hospital waiting for my turn. had my xray and ekg and blood drawn am in my gown. Have my iv, but duh. They told me to get into gown and give urine sample, but I remembered gown and just went to bathroom normal. Since I havent had anything to eat, drink, I am hoping I pee again soon. Someone is in surgery now, dont know if they are out yet.

I feel calm, btw. My biggest concern at moment is that its that time of month and I dont know how that will affect any surgical stuff. I cant remember if I have to have catheter I have visions of soaking the surgical table, kotex stat nurse!. I dont have my stockings yet.

I hope you are recovering well! I went to Dr. Kelly on 3/1/11. You are in good hands! My sleeve is working wonderfully for me. I was the first surgery he did on my day and I have to admit I was so grateful for that! I would have drove myself crazy waiting for my turn! I can't wait to hear how you are doing! These first few days can be rough but you will feel much better soon!

Take care!

Doing well, first night lots of pain and nausea which was helped by frequent additions to my iv of pain, nausea meds. Only threw up once and it was barely anything. Feel much better today, like I did too many sit ups. Some gas pain but not too bad. Do feel hungry, have been eating ice chips like crazy. Bp was a bit high but is now good. Nurses all very nice. Been sleeping on and off. I have walked the halls but its a pain due to having to get out of bed while keeping watch for drain bag and iv lines and dragging iv. Walking itself not difficult.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
