I had my surgery at Fresno Heart and Surgery Center. Lately I have been falling into bad habits again and would like to team up with someone around 6 months out and get back on track. Can anyone help me? I did great for the first 4 months and have lost like 55#. But nothing since.????

Hi there! I'm from California too. I got my surgery in San Jose with Jossart almost a year ago. Sorry were so far away but you can reach out to me if you need anything. Congrats on surgery and good luck. It is an adventure.

Hi! Thank you! That's awesome! I hadn't been able to find anyone else who had/is used/using him!

How was your surgery recovery? How did your sleeve hold up? Have you lost much? Did he have you do the milk of magnesia and Prilosec OTC before surgery too? He says that they will really help with how I feel afterwards. Thank so much!

Hi Smallbird

I do not currently go to a group, and the only one I know of is on weekdays. Would love to meet you if you want when you come to SD on weekends!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
