Just revd a call the hospital wants another cardiac clearence letter seen it has to be within 30 days of surgery and the 18th is around the corner. I believe it will not be a issues since my heart doctor was the one who referred me for weight loss surgery and he wrote one before, but its been a while and my surgery date got changed from May 28th...So its just one other way of making sure I'm ok for surgery and I'm cool with that...glad they caught it!!!!

Taking, I'm not June anymore. After submitting all that was required, per insurance list, they called the office and added 2 things. I now have to get pulmonary and cardiac clearances before I can be approved. Did i mention i have zero pulmonary history? Then my doctor is scheduling a month out. Oh well. By a miracle, I got a pulmonary appointment in 2 days. Today I have my last hurdle, the stress echo for the cardiac clearance. I'm hoping now for July, but I will be keeping up with you June sleepers:). I'm excited for you. Elaine

Hi all!

Was sleeved Tues 06/04. Doing Well. Hospital staff and surgeon were wonderful. In some discomfort from incisions. My main problem is the heartburn. I never had it in my life, but boy am I making up for lost time! My bariatric RN called to check on me today and she said that the Isopure causes the heartburn. I only have one more day on that, then my Protein shakes. So I can tough it out! It is hard to get down all that liquid!

Blessings to all my sleeve siblings!

I was sleeved on June 3rd, and I'm feeling great! I have lots of energy, and I'm able to drink a little more fluids each day. I didn't have to do a pre-op diet, and I'm down a total of 10 pounds so far.

I was sleeved June 5th no gas pain and tolerable incision pain. The only thing that kept me up last night/this morning was my arms had this burning pain. Feeling much better. How are you all doing with your liquid intake ? I don't seem to have room in my new stomach!

My surgery is Wednesday, too. Diet has gone well. Down 5 as of this morning. As for calm....mine is breaking. Starting to get nervous. I can do this!!!

I'm with you on that one, I go in Wednesday as well and I'm getting very nervous. I thought i would be good seeingthat I have had surgery before, but I think the thing that is scaring me is the thought of the change.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
