I just got my surgery date



Recommended Posts

My name is Joe and I'm scheduled for surgery here in Michigan at Henry Ford on March 4. Up till now I have gone back and forth weather to have the RNY or the Sleeve. At my last appointment I told my surgeon I wanted the RNY. I never really felt comfortable with that, I had been lurking here and at RNY Talk, well yesterday I changed my mind and decided to go with the Sleeve. My Dr. never really pushed me one way or the other except to say that you can expect to loose more weight with the RNY. With all the extra trauma to your body and the extra after care, ect... I just feel more comfortable with the Sleeve, I hope I'm making the right decision I figure this is my chance and I don't want to blow it

      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? 🤷‍♀️
