Recommended Posts

I havn't narrowed down which date i'm going with.. i guess it depends if i decide to pay the expedite fee for my husband and I's passports. Going to apply for them today.. anyone recently have to apply for a passport? How long did it take to get? Was it the full 6 weeks to process? So excited for this day to finally get here.. been a lurker for way too long... :-)

I haven't recently done it, but I remembered that ours came rather quickly. Just triple check the paperwork to avoid missed errors :) I'd go ahead and schedule the earlier date, Anaid told me, as long as you rescheduled 7 days before surgery, there would be no problems. Good luck!

Everyone I've talked to says it takes 4-6 weeks but my friend applied for hers in December and got it in a couple weeks! Good luck. I apply for mine Monday. Already have my picture and had to wait on birth certificate.

well hoping i get mine soon.. i'd rather go with the earlier date.. the sooner i can get going with this the better.. more time i have to get used to my new tummy before i have this big graduation party for my son.

I am having mine around May 11th with Dr. Kelly. I am waiting to see what his availability is during that time (I don't get out of school until May 10).

My hubby wants to go, and I'm not against it, but I will either bring our aunt, or a friend, or just come by myself...

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.
