Thank you very much. I finish up my pre-surgery work schedule with not too much the next two days followed by a morning of court on Wednesday before taking the afternoon off and getting ready to drive to Richmond. I'll be recovering at my parents' house in the area, and I assure you all that I will be well connected to Internet and updating you. Heck, I hope to be like some others who manage an update the evening of my surgery date!

Good luck to everyone!

I'm getting nervous, surgery on Friday 12th. I'm scheduled to see the nutritionist, surgeon, and have my breathing test on Thursday. Usually you do this 2 weeks prior to surgery. I'm sure I'll be glad to see them on Thursday and then the next morning have surgery. Only bad thing is I don't know what time on Friday my surgery is scheduled for.

Good luck to everyone else this week.

Thanks for thinking of us. I'm getting excited/nervous about tomorrow's surgery. I'm also trying to stop myself from having second thoughts. Sigh... let's just get this show on the road. Come tomorrow morning at 8 am, I'll be on the table and on my way to a new life!!

This was my comment on another post, I mean it enough to copy & paste it!

Good luck to all of you having your surgery this week... I'm so green with envy! I'm on hoop 5 of 6 that I have to jump through for insurance, ahem, oops I meant month 5 of 6 physician supervised visits, ha ha ha. Can't wait to get my date & the excitement that comes the night before that I'm sure you're all experiencing. Can't wait even more for the wonderful life that awaits after. Keep us posted we're living this experience through your words for the next few weeks.

Sad news today. My grandma passed away just last night. I'm alll the way in Louisiana and she's in Philly. Needless to say I am postponing surgery a little while. Hopefully I will be a September sleever. Good luck to everyone on their journey!

I'm so very sorry about your grandma phatgurl80, and the fact that you will need to postpone your surgery must also be very difficult. My heart goes out to you.

Thanks everyone for your thoughts and prayers! Grandma will be laid to rest shortly, but she will forever be with us in spirit. Rescheduled my surgery for the first week in September. Thanks again for everyone's kindness and I'll be sure to keep updating everyone on my Sleeve Journey.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
