Anyone else out there that got their sleeve done at Darnall on Fort Hood? I know we have a big support group there and lots of sleevers in the group. It would be wonderful to find more of you on here too :)

I just got my consult put in this morning. I don't know what I'm going to do yet, whether it be the lap band or the sleeve or the Rouen Y. The lap band idea freaks me out. I'm going to the meeting on the 15th of November at the hospital to see what I can see.

We also have a WLS group that meets on the 1st floor at Darnell. The next meeting is November 29th at 1045. They have one evening meeting a month too, but I can never make that one so I don't know what time or day it is. The girls are wonderful and it is great having solid support from someone nearby. At first I was looking at the band, but realized I simply couldn't deal with the idea of a foreign body in me for the next 50 years. You are required to come to at least one meeting for approval. You will meet lots of people who have had different types of surgeries that are more than willing to chat with you. Good luck!

I have a question. I am considering going the sleeve route. But I am worried once we get settled in here at Hood, will I be able to bring the kids along for any of the appointments. I mean I understand I will need someone to help during the surgery obiviously, but what about as far as all the appointments leading up to the surgery?

Good question. I don't know. My son is school aged and he never came to any of my appointments. I know he can't come to the classes and WL nutrition support group, but other than that, I don't see why he couldn't.

Well I am finally one step closer to surgery. I completed everything I needed seminar, 2 wls meetings, psy eval. Then surgeron told me they would have to relook over my medical records due to a possible TIA. After explaining they never comfirmed it was a TIA and looking over the medical records. They have put me on the list and now just awaiting a call with a surgery date!

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!
