Got into the airport and Samuel (R4C) was there to meet me in a nice clean ford Arostar. I was his only pickup. He gave me some history and little facts as we drove to hotel.

Rosie the coordinator met me at the hotel and helped me check in and get to my room where she went over everything with me.

Had some broth and its not bad at all!! Gonna head to Walmart and explore. So far' date=' great experience. Marriott shuttle will escort to the hospital in the morning <img src='http://www.bariatricpal.com/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' />

More to come......[/quote']

Coolmama I am getting sleeved with Garcia February 2013 and I am going by myself. I'm really scared. How are you doing? Any suggestions for me on what to bring to the hospital and what not to bring since I'm traveling alone? Any info would be so helpful. Thanks! Hope your doing well!

I am planning on Feb 21. I had chosen that date because I had a sleeve buddy, now I'm thinking about changing it. Maybe for the week after. My daughters birthday is on the 24. I will be going alone also.

I'm looking at the 18th with dr. Garcia. I haven't paid my deposit yet though, so it's not set in stone.

Tell me about it! I'd prefer to fly out of CAK but it is cheaper in Cleveland.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
