How Is Everyone Doing?



Recommended Posts

Hi all, got back from Mexico last night from my VSG last Thursday with Dr. Kelly. I feel pretty good, although today I am pretty tired so have been doing a lot of sleeping. I think the flight takes more out of you than you might think...or at least mine did! But my incisions look great, I am getting used to the siping, and am generally happy overall with how things are going.

How is everyone else doing?

Those of you having surgery this week, best wishes! :)

Congratulations! Hope you get some rest and don't feel as tired, i felt that way for a few days after surgery too, but now I feel like I have more energy than I've had in a long time.

Great welcome back! So overall were you pleased with Dr. Kelly and staff? I had to move my date back one day. Leaving next Tuesday to get sleeved on the 28th.

Yes me too! Although my sister told me to expect this the first week. I am thinking the flight was just more than I was expecting...I am excited to be on my way! I did get a new pair of walking shoes, so they are waiting for me to get moving in them the minute I start to feel better....

Overall, yes. My surgery went very smoothly and I was up walking that night. I don't have a lot of pain and my incisions are small and not super painful. Plus I was never really nauseous....I think he knows his stuff for sure. I didn't care for Tijuana, but that has nothing to do with Dr. Kelly or anyone that works with him! Ana and his wife (who do the coordinating and driving you around, etc.) are very nice and do their best to make you comfortable and feel welcome.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
