Hi all. I have been lurking on these boards for sometime now. Thank you all for sharing your experiences, it has given me a certain peace of mind in going through the decision process. I have finally committed and set a date. I will be getting sleeved by Dr. Kelly on August 10th. I would love to hear from any other patients who will be there at that time.

If mine were alive I definitely would have taken her!! I was lucky to have two girls I met online there with me :-)

I was nervous that she wouldn't go with me bc she has had a couple of back surgeries and traveling is hard on her. But so very thankful I have her going with nothing like taking your best friend!

I was telling Jen today that I would jump at the chance at going with someone if they didn't want to go alone. Good luck to you all, you chose a great surgeon!

LOLO- yeah! I am so thankful! We have a buddy! We will have to keep in touch during our preparation.

Cathy- you are too awesome offering that, I have got confirmation that my mom is going to be able to go. If not I would be on you.... :)

      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? 🤷‍♀️
