Howdy y'all! My date is July 1st and I'm BEYOND ready! I was wondering if any of the July Sleevers write blogs? If so' date=' what is your blog called so I can follow you! Mine is http://kjordanjournal.blogspot.com. I just started about a month ago and I absolutely love the therapeutic feeling I get from "putting it all out there!"

I look forward to keeping up with this group and celebrating with you on the looser's bench! Good night!

I started a YouTube blog! Here is the last video I did but the others are there

Hi all....I am a newbie!!! I live in St. Louis, and I started my journey in March......received conditional approval from my insurance co. I have completed the 3 months of a monitored weight loss program from my primary care dr. I have had my psych evaluation, (passed with flying colors!), met with the nutritionist, and met with my surgeon who will perform the sleeve surgery. July 3rd I am scheduled for a scope of my stomach to be done, a pulmonary function test, a Doppler test of discoloration on my legs from diabetes, and some blood work. Doctors office told me after all the results ate in, they submit everything back to the insurance company for final approval. I was told this usually takes about 2 weeks. They told me once they receive the approval I will be scheduled 2 weeks out. So I am hoping for a late July or early August surgery. I am extremely excited!! A little nervous....not really sure why?? I just can't wait to start feeling healthier, and be able to climb a flight of stairs without being out of breath. I just stumbled upon this site while looking up bariatric vitamins.....so glad I found this! I look forward to sharing not only my journey, but all yours as well. Good luck to everyone. Any tips or pointers are welcomed!

      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.
