My name is Hutch - I have a tentative date of May 9th with Dr Aceeves in Mexi -Cali

I am a truck driver and struggle with weight loss so I have made the decision to be sleeved.

I am nervous but not scared. I have been 100 lbs overweight for the last 10 years and I have tried every diet imaginable - and they work for a minute and then fail. I have no one to blame but myself. I have diabetes, sleep apnea, asthma and planter faciatias in my feet which causes me alot of pain. I hope and pray that after the surgery with time these conditions that I mention will go away.

I recently got married to a beautiful woman that was sleeved in Janurary,2010- and when she said that I needed to get a passport I thought she was excited about going on vacation but little did I know she had other plans - I am happy though because I feel that this is the best decision for me and for us to live a long and healthy life together.

If you all will join me in my upcoming journey I would greatly appreciate all of ur help and support.

Thank you and God bless,

Hutch

Hi Hutch! You've come to a good place. Sounds like you and your bride are very lucky to have one another. I am about 3 weeks post op and already I've noticed a HUGE difference with my feet pain/heel spurs.

Good luck to you! Keep us posted!

I am a little over 12 weeks I had type 2 diabeties bout 15 yrs. the day I left the hospital was the last day I took any pills or insulin. I had lab work last week and my blood sugar was 114. My high blood pressure is also better controlled so for me the reason for the surgery is done! The weight loss is a double bonus!! Good luck to you!

Had my surgery one month ago yesterday. And today I walked over 1/2 mile. It has been MANY years since I could walk that far! I was just barely out of breath and not hurting like I usually am at less than one tenth of a mile!

Hutch,

Had my VSG on 4/12 by Dr Aceves. Everything went great and it was a great experience. The whole group of people there were awesome. You'll be fine and in perfect hands. I am recovering very well with minimal to no pain. Message me if you want any info or have any questions!

Congrats on your decision and prayers your way!

Hi Hutch, I noticed your pic, I have the same one on another sit. I'm a truck driver too. I was scheduled for the end of the year but decided on

June after my sons wedding.

We both know first hand all the changes that are happening in are industry. If we don't get a handle on our health we'll be out of a job.

      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.
