I already asked one of the doctors if I could take Ambien the night before surgery! Thank goodness the answer was a yes.

 

good luck! Keep us posted.

I am at the hotel and chicken broth has been ordered. BTW, you can't buy Water at the San Diego hotel near the baggage area. I was thirsty on my drive, wishing I had bought another bottle at LAX.

Sometimes they change... I wasn't aware that they don't want you discussing the price.

 

Shhhhhhhh. It's super top secret! ;-)

OK I have a dental check (no one told me about that) to make sure I could chew my food sufficiently. Blood has been drawn and I am waiting for the NUT, oh and paperwork is complete. I am going to get my teeth cleaned and my chip fixed while I am here. I never find time for the dentist at home.

The new me is starting!

this is the first I've heard of the dental check! How bizarre. I'm 100% covered for dental, but always have to cancel due to travel. Hmmmm. something to think about.

Same here it has been 4 years since I saw the Dentist CPA took advantage of what scares me the most:dental work, also getting blood drawn not a fan e fan

 

But, they did well

Question!! I have never been on a airplane. So do you have to pay for 2 seats for heavy people??

 

I called american airlines cuz me and my sister are getting sleeved and they said that if you can sit in ur seat and br able to put the arm rest down you shouldnt have a problem and that the seatbelt is like 47 in. but most likely she will have to use the seatbelt extender which btw ask for when u are walking in to the plane and the attendant will get for you. But if u cant fit then unless you are with someone else that doesnt mind u are tight in the seat then u need to purchase an extra seat. They also said that if you purchase it and there are extra seats then they will refund the ticket. But this is just american, i had to call m2 different airlines to get info due to me, my mom, and my sister whos much bigger then i going. So good luck to u all!!!!!

So more updates. I was really

Lay impressed with how time the nurse took finding the vein for the lV. My hands were super cold so she made hot Water with a rubber glove did some other tricks, and my vein appeared.

 

So far no nausea, a little gas pain - nothing bad, was a bit foggy on my initial walks but all is really good.

 

Excellent care by all

      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.
