Hello, my name is Denise and I am from Bartlesville, OK.

I was sleeved on 12-11-12 at Bailey Medical in Owasso, OK and my Surgeon was Dr. Katsis, My starting weight was 450 lbs and as of 1-7-13 at my 4 week check up I was at 408 lbs.! YAY!

My experience to date, has been amazing. I have the worlds best family and friends, they are my cheeleaders.

I don't have any complaints, if you read my story, you will see that my health was so bad that this has been a gift of God to me and I am so blessed to have the tool to help me regain my life. So every step of this journey I am going to Celebrate because this journey is a precious gift to me.

Thank you for letting me introduce my self!

God Bless!

Welcome and congratulations on your decision. I was sleeved on Dec. 6 so I'm not too far ahead of you as far as post op. I don't regret any decisions I've made and I know that this was what I needed to save my life and my future with my family. I plan on enjoying my grandchildren and the great grandchildren after that.

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

      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? 🤷‍♀️
