I'm scheduled for September 4th. I feel like it's coming up really fast. I went to the information session for my surgeon's practice on June 21st (I had to look it up today) and they said with luck it might get squeezed in before the end of the year. And here I am, just three weeks from the day.

There's a squirrel in the back of my head, yelling "hold on - slow down!" I won't, of course, but the thought is there.

I'm not sure who you're asking littleperson?... so I'll just jum in lol!

I'm not having an EGD. Or at least I haven't been scheduled for one. Is an EGD standard? I had an endoscopy a couple of months ago, just before I buckled down and got serious about VSG. My surgeon got a copy of that report and pictures from that fun event.

How long have you all been workin on this? Getting through the approval process, I mean?

EGD - is endoscopy. and I think most of the doctors are required it.

:) I have my schedule date September 21 but I really want it to move up a bit but I really doubt. I was told that my Surgeon is booked up for the whole month.

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

      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? 🤷‍♀️
