Hey there all.

I'm getting sleeved next month at Banner Gateway. I don't yet have a date, but hope to soon.

I live East Valley, and hope to connect with local sleevers.

How are y'all doing on your journey? Do we want to share a monthly update?

I am getting sleeved March 28th in Tijuana. I live in Chandler, work in Scottsdale. Are there any support groups in the area? Are you all still thinking of starting one? I'm worried about my post op activity and weight loss. I don't want to be that person who fails.

I know we are here, but you can also connect with Banner Bariatric, in Mesa. They have open support meetings for anyone who has had the surgery. Weekly meetings with a variety of topics.

The schedule is on their website. They are very friendly over there. That's where I'm having mine done.

Best of luck to you. Keep is up to date on yours.

I'm going to Mexico too! I'll be with Dr. Garcia at MiDoctor Hospital on May 3rd. Have to wait for passports!! I'm a band to sleeve revision. This surgery for me will be 10 years in the making! Lol Can't wait to hear how your's goes!!

Awesome to see so many people that are able to get insurance coverage for the sleeve. My band was covered 10 years ago in California, but now our insurance has a contract exclusion for WLS (not just for revision, but any WLS) I know it's expensive, but the qualifications leave only those of us who would really have vastly improved health in the running anyway (meaning less cost to our insurer down the road).

Anyone else in the area a revision?! Would love to hear your experience. And if anyone just needs a WLS buddy, I'm in! After 10 years, I feel like I'm starting all over. The husband is awesome but has no clue what all this is like lol

I'm in the west valley :)

Hi Phx folks! I've been sleeved for two weeks now. Got the release to move to a mushy diet yesterday. I was so excited! Ate a scrambled egg last night and it was glorious! I'm starting to feel more like myself and very happy with my progress. Srarting Zumba next week. So excited to have a second chance at life!

Hey everyone! Let's try to get together! I started another thread but it seems most didn't see it! Anyway, I have a group on FB, maybe most of you can join? It might be easier to set something up. I will make the group "closed" so you can all request to join then once everyone has I will change it back to secret. Sound good?

https://www.facebook.com/groups/257387267730615/

Let me know if that works or not please!

Sounds good to me (a closed group is fine with me, I know some people prefer secret though). The link isn't working from my phone, so I'll try from my computer this afternoon! :)

      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.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!
