Tomorrow Is Surgery Day



Recommended Posts

Hi everyone,

Well tomorrow is my big day. Surgery is at 9:00 05/03/12. I am so nervous and excited. Fear of the unknown but also excited about a much healthier future :)

If you read this please stop for a second and say a little prayer for me that all will go well with no complications. :wub:

Praying for you. I had my surgery on Monday and I am now home.

I'm 5 weeks out from my band - sleeve revision. It's really night & day, in a good way. I'm not going to say you will love it, there are certainly some things not to love, but I will say it's way easier to live with than the band was on its best day.

And if you're like me, and have significant scar tissue from your band insertion/removal, you might find an unexpected bonus of relief once that gob of stuff is removed. I'm now rid of pains I wasn't really registering before (occasionally), but now definiely notice that they're gone.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
