I'm Kim and I live in Palm Desert. Surgery 5/9/2012 with Dr Awad in Palm Springs. Age 56. Feeling like a new woman!!

I was sleeved by Dr. Awad on 12/19/2012 and I feel like a new person already too. He's great. I actually found him on a documentary I watched and I am so glad I did!

Hi Jena

We have friends in Soledad. I'm waiting for my date as well. Just went to the pre-op class yesterday at CHOMP. Couldn't stay for the support group but wish I could've. They have another group for sleeves one Thursday a month in the evenings I will try to make. Where are you doing your surgery?

I'm close to the end...I have my psych eval on 2/5/13 and from there they'll call to schedule surgery(only if I lose 26lbs my Dr wants me to lose. I lost 13lbs already) and go for EKG. I'm doing it with Fremont Kaiser. I stop weighing myself because it was stressing me out. So I'm waiting anxiously for the scale on the 5th lol. SW 316 HW 322 CW 303 GW 170-180. I'm 5'9 large frame Samoan female.

      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.
