I see that yours is at St. V's, I looked him up on line. I started with them in 2005 and then was side tracked, I was going to get the band. I'd explain why I did not but thats a story, I did how ever get through most the prelim stuff and psych and NUT exam, tests too.

Yes, this is my first. I think the VSG is best for me too. I already need to have extra Vitamin and have a deficiency caused by rejection from my body, I don't have an average or reversable deficiency. I need the Vit's that I can get having a sleeve.

What happened the first time around is something I don't want to just discuss out right but it was not me or my surgeon who would not had done it, just a circumstance.

same group as you are with, can't recall the doc I had though, sorry.

      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.
