Hi all, I'm tenatively scheduled for Dr's. Lopez and Osuna on October 8th also.

I had a heart attack at age 46 (4years ago), plus diabetes, so Dr. Lopez wants an echocardiogram done before he will give me final approval for surgery. I'm praying that it turns out okay, I need to have this surgery, But the fact that he does want additional testing is also reassuring.

I"ve been lurking around this forum for a couple of weeks now, what a wonderful supportive place, I've learned sooo much from all of you, Thank you.

I had a hopspital stay last year due to light headedness, but they could not find anything wrong. Did all the tests, nothing. I do have high bp, but I am assuming that isnt a problem for getting the surgery. I have been taking meds for it, but its been so up and down. Surgery couldnt come sooner!

How are you doing with the pre-op diet. I started mine yesterday and end up with the worst headache by the end of the day.

Anyone who has already experienced their surgery -- were there any "additional" costs you were not expecting?

      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? 🤷‍♀️
