It's June 4th!! They asked if I wanted to to may 21st but I'm not prepared to have surgery next Monday. I need to prepare mentally for this. I have been doing just that for the last 6 months, but to me next Monday just seemed to close and I haven't prepared myself that fast. I'm ok and excited for June 4th!!

You should've taken the appointment in May. That way you'd be ready for any 4th. of July BBQ's. Just joking. LOL. Best of luck to you. You're on your way!

I'm hoping to get an appointment as early as possible (within the next month or so?). When I go home too Hawaii & visit all my old police buddies, they're going to be shocked! I'll say an extra prayer for you on June 4th. You'll do just fine.

I thought about it, but the thing is that I'm taking 2 weeks off work and using vacation and we make our schedules 3 weeks in advance so there was really no way for me to do next week. Plus I really need to prepare myself it is an emotional and life long thing.. :)

Furby036, don't think about the pain & such. That only puts negative vibes into your system. Be positive and think if all the great things that lay in front of you: shopping for new clothes, and what girl doesn't want t go shopping for new clothes?

Say a prayer & ask the good Lord to help you through this. He will.

Yay for you! YOU need to be ready, so glad you thought it through! :) Some of us have been ready for awhile and we are having to wait! July 3rd is my date - hopefully it will be here before I know it. Good luck June 4th!

There are meds for the pain and nausea. It was minimal for me and I am the biggest baby. Focus your energy in other areas of preparation. I made a list of things I wanted to do for ME, before surgery. It was a helpful process....no regrets!

Congrats on your date! I too took a later date than initially and I have no regrets. You did what was best for YOU. And my pain was very minimal. Sore, yes. And I had no nausea at all. The meds are so good you don't have to be in pain at all. Just push that button, it was my best friend. Another thing that helped me in the hospital was a heating pad.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
