Hey all' date=' I am a sleever living in Lawrence, approaching my 2 year surgiversary. I was sleeved in CA but have lived here for a year and would very much like the support of real people, much as I love the VST forum, having a diet/health/fitness buddy in real life can't be beat. Hit me up if any of you are interested![/quote']

Hi I live in Ottawa if you're interested. My email is Wilson.Tamara 31@yahoo.com

Congrats on your surgery date:) I has my sleeve 1/23 with Dr. Hamilton in the same office. It's a great practice! The pre op is the worst but trust me you can do it!! I know it's hard when you have a family to feed but doable.

I have my first appt with this practice on 3/4. What can I expect at my first appt? Do they schedule all your nutrition appts/psych eval/ everything at the first appt? So excited!

At your first appt you meet the doctor and he will answer any questions you and then you meet with a case manager who coordinates all you pre op stuff and she will give a work sheet of to do's prior to your surgery. The case manager helps you get though all the steps. All the staff is very helpful and nice:) I would recommend attending the support groups before surg if you can they are so helpful.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
