Hi Everyone! I've been checking the forum for about a week now and feel confident with choosing the sleeve as my WLS of choice. I'm not new to the WLS world as I was scheduled twice (and did that horrible liquid diet TWICE for two weeks) for the installation of the Lap Band with Dr. George Fielding at NYU in 2007 and 2008 only to fail the medical clearance just days before the operation because I continued to smoke cigs and my GP and Pulmonologist didn't feel like my lungs were in great enough shape for elective surgery. So, I abandoned my Quest for a while - feeling defeated and maybe that it just wasn't meant to be. Meanwhile a few of my friends received the Band and were successful but really wasn't crazy about what they went through on a daily, plus the maintenance. I'm located on the way east end of Long Island, so getting to ANY doctor is a feat. So, I quit smoking in January, and I'm researching again. I gained 25 more pounds since January as a result of quitting smoking... I am beyond uncomfortable now, I've NEVER felt this immobile in my life! I think maybe all this happened for a reason. I know I could go back to Dr. Fielding - who I LOVE, but to take 2 trains etc... to get there... Any other surgeons on Long Island that do the sleeve and that are recommended? Would love some feedback - Thanks everyone! You all look and sound fantastic - hope to join you soon!

  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? 🤷‍♀️
