Hello everyone! I started inquring about WLS last month, since it seems like my weight just keeps climbing and climbing, dispite all the excerising, diets, and pills that I take. I initially started wanting the LB, but after doing more and more research on the different kinds of WLS, I have decided that the Sleeve is the right choice for me! Having a weight problem my entire life..loosing, then gaining twice what I lost, I am to a point of my life that I need consistency and I feel in my heart that the Sleeve will give this too me. Since making this decision, I have attended a WLS seminar, and my first appoint with the doc and nutritionist is June 15th. I am so excited to get my ball rolling!!

Hi Bsugar,

Welcome, and congratulation on making the decision. I was going to go with the lapband, until I learn about the sleeve at the seminar. I changed my mind about LB, and deicide to go with the sleeve as well, I’m on a six month supervised diet right now, but I am looking forward to being sleeved, sometime in the near future.::D

Thanks Gina and Deb! My insruance requires a 3 month supervised diet program, which I was told by my doctor's office that it can be done there. I am thinking that the 15th will start that journey for me.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
