One Year Surgiversary



Recommended Posts

Well, one year ago I was in Mexicali just beginning this life-changing journey. I have not yet met my goal, and I am 0.2 (!!!) lbs away from Onederland, but I would never go back. I am still confident that I am not through losing, but if this is as good as it gets, I can live with it for the rest of my life. I am confident it will be much better than if I had not had this surgery done.

My blood pressure is very well controlled. I am still taking my med because my daughter doesn't want me to "take any chances". I am off all my diabetic medications and my fasting sugars in the morning are in the 70's and 80's. I have had to learn how to walk like a normal person, but it has really helped my self confidence.

I encourage everyone thinking about getting sleeved not to let uncertainty and comments of outsiders cloud your decision making. Be bold and go for the gold. Love to all...Kathe

Hi, I was sleeved by Dr. Aceves on 4/13/11... I must have met you or passed you on our walk in the hallway. My room was across the hall from the nurses station. :) I am happy to say I am down 67lbs and below my personal goal of 150lbs :) I am happy to hear you are doing well too! Take care and keep it going!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
