Yea!!! Good deal! My Pre-op is the 16th, ENG on 17th, surgery on 18th. My doctor's office was great about getting all my appts back to back and has made hotel arrangements for me for the nights of Pre-op, since I live so far away. So far, I have been very impressed with the people working with me, which is reassuring, since I am nervous as a cat's back!

congrats on being sleeved 7/18/2012

it will be a day you will always remember.

this is a long wonderful journey - never ending - but follow the yellow brick road and things will be great.

you will be healthier, and happier - and the added bonus of losing weight isn't such a bad thing either ;)

best of luck

good recovery

I am having my sleeve on July 13th. I am so nervous but there's no going back now. I just want to get through this without complications. I want so badly to be a healthy weight. This has eluded me my whole life. Yo-yo'ing up and down for decades. I'm at my max now. Can I really be down 20 pounds by this time next 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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.
