It's true, this is not like any other surgery. I thought I would have difficulty getting out of bed, laying on my side, walking. But I don't , which is awesome. Pain is very minimal

, if anything I'm just sore. My biggest hurdle is regaling what my full is and to get my stomach and brain to work together.

Okay, clearly, I'm a newbie.. my liquid diet starts June 13, surgery, June 27. I love this site because I'm learning so much in a advance, but a couple of things that keep throwing for a loop are the acronyms. LOL! Somebody help me out. What is a NUT, PAT and a PPI? Any other ones I should know about? :)

NUT : nutritionist, dietician

PPI: proton pump inhibitor

I don't know about PAT. I haven't seen it used. Do a general search in the forums for "lingo", "acronyms", etc. there are a couple of threads explaining the alphabet Soup commonly used on here.

Add me, add me!! June 4th! Let's Do This!

Hi June Sleevers! I had originally been scheduled for the 4th, as I wrote above. Unfortunately, things went south with the clinic and staff I was dealing with. Due to their inexperience with insurance pay patients, having no clue as to everything going on with other of their own office staff, bad customer service, lack of compassion, rudeness, inability to be timely with returning calls and their lack of results, we felt totally unsafe continuing to pursue the surgery with this surgeon and clinic. I had no problems with the doctor himself, but couldn't possibly feel comfortable placing my life in such incompetent hands as his staff revealed. Because of the risks that are already associated with this surgery, I sure didn't want to add any unnecessary ones.

So, I have, as of today, become a July 2013 Sleever. I have had consult, EGD test, insurance approval and now got scheduled for the 12th. All this done in less than ten days with the new clinic and surgeon!

I still wish each of you June Sleevers MUCH success, FAST recovery, and all your health issues greatly improve each day!

      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.
