Got Approved And My Surgery Date Today!



Recommended Posts

I got my surgery approval yesterday and my surgery date today and have been so excited and elated all day! I am scheduled for September 14 and that is the perfect time for me with work and home and everything! Now, I just need to complete all the pre-op stuff and get prepared! Light at the end of the tunnel. And, I know that the real work is just beginning, but boy am I excited and ready to begin the journey! :D

I know the feeling - welcome to the September sleeve club!! I'm Sept. 10th....and counting the days, literally!! Need to purchase a couple more items, like Calcium chews and chewable Vitamins since i bought the gummies but doc says chewable. plus a heating pad (I think my kids used my old one a few years ago when they were nursing some kittens).

CONGRATS!!

I was never afraid of the WLS, I was concerned about the possible hard work after the fact.

You must be diligent. I have confidence in you that you'll do great :)

You have the rest of your life to happily enjoy good health, happiness and whatever else comes your way through this wonderful journey through sleeveland

WLS 9/14/12

good luck

Thank you everyone so much! This forum has answered so many of my questions, and good luck to everyone else that is in September. I know my list of things I still need to get is getting longer every minute now that I know I only have 4 weeks. I just plan to stay on the plan right now and take one step at a time!

      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.
