Anyone in Los Angeles need a sleeve buddy? Just sleeved 16 days ago in Mexico. Need a friend / mentor cause I was given no after care.

You can feel free to message me any time, I was sleeved almost four months ago,, but spent much time self paying for band fills prior to that, so am familiar with both sides of the coin!

For the person above that inquired as to how long process was, I didn't have to go through any since I was a Lapland fail with a previous doc and had been seeing doc Martin for that for over a year...

Shout out to my Options Program sis & bros. Finshed Options on Jan 30th. Have not met surgeon yet but I will be sleeved at Kaiser South Bay. PITFALL: Letter from Options RN stating mu vitimin D is still low and I need to repeat my labs in 6 weeks. I'm assuming that I won't meet the surgeon until my vitimin D is normal.

Hi,

Sorry if I am reposting, but this forum is not very intuitive. I am looking for monthly support groups in the Bay Area, CA? Prefer the South Bay, Mountain View or Palo Alto or Fremont.

Can anyone point me in the right direction? Thanks!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
