I'm just wondering if there are any November Sleevers? I finish my insurance required 16 week weight management program the last week of October and should be sleeved by the beginning of November.

I'd like to have all of us support each other like people that were sleeved in other months did. Let's have fun!

Where are you at in your approval process, any issues thus far? Tell us about you!!

Thanks, same to you! Maybe we'll have more to join the group! I'd love to get to know others who are in about the same stage as us! I think it helps! :)

Are you doing a "diet" right now? I am headed to my primary doc today to discuss my surgery and all that jazz. Hopefully he will have some helpful insight for me! I'm ready to get this show on the road!

Hi!! I am scheduled for Nov 20th! It can't get here soon enough. I am in the middle of my 6th month insurance mandate. I really wanted to lose 20-25 lbs preop but I am struggling. I have the "I better eat it now before surgery" complex!

Yeah that desire for a last meal is definitely not a singular even. Everything in my mind has its right to have a last meal with me. Lol. But I need to get my head on. I'm integrating steps into my life now that should be a habit by the time I get my surgery. I don't want to be too overwhelmed post op. but good news for me...just introducing mindful eating back into my life...I've lost 1.6 lbs this week. I would like to get as far under 300 as I can before surgery so that it's not so hard on me when I go under aenestesia.

Hi! I am hoping to be a November sleever. I just had my band removed yesterday, and my surgeon wants me to wait about 4 months to be sleeved. I am hoping to sneak it in around Thanksgiving, so I can take less time off work.

Can't wait for Nov to get here!

I'm perfectly content with no turkey or all the trimmings this year. Getting sleeved is far more important to me. Besides its not what or how much you eat that matters...it's the people you spend the holiday with that matter. And I for one would love to spend it with the sleeved version of me. Lol.

I got my band the day before Thanksgiving three years ago, so I'm fine with skipping the meal again. I don't really care for turkey anyhow, and not eating means I can focus on football instead! :P

      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? 🤷‍♀️
