Way to go you fabulous already. I am scheduled with dr. Ponce de leon in Dec. I noticed this is where you went. Please tell me everything about your experience. I am freaking out a bit. What was it like was there pain etc... What was it like to have the drain? Is there any way out of that part? Anything you can share would be great. Keep up the great work. Can't wait to follow your success!

YAY! I had a great experience!!! the hospital staff was wonderful. I am an OR nurse in a HUGE level 1 trauma center/teaching hospital so when we drove up to INT I felt a moment of panic because it's much smaller than a typical American hospital LOL but they were wonderful there! check out my pics (the link is in my signature) and see if you can find anyone else on here who will be there at the same time as you because it was fun to be able to compare notes after the surgery. If your coordinator is Trish she will make sure you get introduced to anyone else having surgery with you :) I felt perfectly safe the whole time I was there. We had surgery Friday and on Sunday went to the Lucerna hotel and a group of us all walked over to Starbucks for juice LOL if you have any specific questions feel free to PM me!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
