Hi,

Yea!!! I found some people in Maryland. I live in Baltimore County. I am having my surgery on Monday :D

@Earthchick97. I am having my surgery at Holy Cross Hospital. It's about 1 hour from my home. I wish I could have my surgery at a closer hospital. Since our surgery dates are so close, it would be nice to have you as a buddy. Are you on a liquid diet now? JH is a wonderful hospital. Best of luck to you.

@Dawn - are you still loving your sleeve? I am a little nervous. I would love to ask you some questions. Now that my surgery is right around the corner, I just wonder what's next. What should I expect. Any tips or advice that you could share would be wonderful. I could really use a mentor.

Have a wonderful day,

Toyia

Hey!

I'm in Silver Spring Md and I will be having my sleeve 3/6/12 in Portsmouth, VA. I'd love to talk to anyone else who is going through the process of getting sleeved or has already been sleeved. I've fought so hard with the military hospital system and now that I have my date, it's kind of hard to wrap my head around it. I'm really nervous!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
