Recommended Posts

Wow mustangsherry that's really early...but it will all be worth it. The Cleveland Clinic won't even give a time until the day before. I'm with you though.. I have done lots of research and know the risks vs the benefits and I know this is the right decision for me. I have MS and my doctor said I will feel alot better after this too.

Who is your doctor at Cleve Clinic? I have Dr. Krohl on aug 29th!

When did they bring you in for all the bloodwork and surgeon visit before surgery?

Do any of u guys have to do a cross blood 2 days before surgery? I'm not doing any of my pre op testing until 2 days before since I live so far away...eek! Does anyone know what exact blood tests they do?

Ooh ok, I meant the pre-surgery appt then. I wondered when that would be. Yes, I have completed everything, am approved, and just waiting til Aug 29th (and whenever the pre-surgery appt is).

Good luck!!!

I am a self pay and didn't meet with a psychologist or the Nut yet (I know I will meet the Nut afterwards though). I did my CXR, the H. pylori test, and all the bloodwork already. Had to figure out how to get my insurance to pay for all that though! I pre register at the hospital on the 25th, and will find out then when I have to be at the hospital.

I'm so ready for this!!

My pre surgery appt is on the 25th. That appt is usually a couple days before your surgery. Did you request to wait that long for your surgery?

      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? 🤷‍♀️
