Sorry Bryant bro! Been off the site for a bit. I'm from Middlesex County. How are you doing? How was your surgery and is your recovery going?

So far so good...doing well!! Back at work, but I wish I had worked from home today...apparently NYC got this storm a lot worse than we did in MIddlesex County! How've you been?

I'm having mine with Dr. Tichansky at Jefferson. I've heard very good things about HUP too!

For those who have been sleeved already, how much have you lost so far? Any regrets? Any tips to help me? Maybe something you wish you had known before surgery. Thanks in advance!

I am 17 months post op. I've lost 102lbs. Key is making sure you get your daily Protein intake. It's not as easy in the very beginning but you'll get there. My biggest issue has been seeing myself as thin. It's a mental thing for sure. For my entire life I hid behind my weight and now I don't have that to hide behind. It's been a process but I wouldn't change my decision to be sleeved as it has been the best decision I've ever made!

I had to find a new Dr. And am going for my visit on the 19th. My insurance kind of messed me up. Luckily I can continue with my pre op appointments and have them sent over. I am going to be seeing Dr. medvetz in Willingboro at Lourdes Hospital. Does anyone know anything about her?

. Excellent! I'm also doing well. Very thankful not to have complications I hear about from others on this site. The weather was awful Wednesday. I did take the day off.. Good luck on your journey!

Have any of you all gone on a blind date, or a date with someone who you met online post surgery? How did you handle it? I have always been very shy and timid, and I may be meeting somebody this weekend who I online who had seen picture of me post op and I am very apprehensive. Any advice?

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

      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? 🤷‍♀️
