I met with two different doctors when deciding who I wanted to do my sleeve and one said they do a pre op diet and the other did not so I think it is just the doctor preference. The doctor I chose said they he does to shrink the liver and make a little more room to move around in you abdomen during the surgery. I like the idea just because I think maybe it will get my body ready for the new diet and won't be too shocked. Lol.

I am originally from Baltimore, MD. I have lived in New Zealand for 6+ years now. I am a retired federal employee. I was a clinical social worker in my former life in America. I had a gallbladder surgery in August of 2010. I developed a larger central line hernia that needed repair badly. My research taught me that the hernia could be repaired, but without a massive amount of weight loss, it more than likely would not stay repaired. I am almost 57 yrs. old and I am geneticly loaded for diabetes on both sides of my family. Presently I have a good BP and no diabetes. My cholesterol is borderline. All things considered, I decided now is the hour for the decision to have WLS. I believe the sleeve is right for me. So does my surgeon. I have just returned from hernia repair surgery about 5 weeks ago. I met with the surgeon today post surgery and discussed my next surgery, the gastric sleeve surgery. Being blessed with private health insurance, after working for the U.S. government for 25 yrs., I can have my surgery in the private system of health care here in New Zealand (I am too old for the public medical scheme to cover me here). He has given me the date of November 29th, 2012 for my sleeve surgery. I am axious to get on with it all. It will be my late Thanksgiving day celebration. I may even come to Celebrate a 2nd birthday after having my surgery. I want to be well underway to recovery by Christmas time.

I just got word today! Mine is scheduled for November 13th! Just a week & 1/2!

When they called to schedule, I just started crying. She said the 13th was the only available day and asked if it would be okay. YES! Even if I had tea with the Queen scheduled, I'd cancel it for my surgery!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
