Good luck and keep us updated :) !

Hello wanted to let you all know I'm post op day five. Feeling better just started having back pain from gas. But only last seconds so bearable. Not hungry at all but trying to keep fluids up rather than worry on Protein. Good luck all.

So neat to see you fellow Virginians here :) My surgery is on sept 18 with Dr. Bautista. I saw how at least one of you had him also. Glad to hear it was a positive experience! I'm so excited for this new way of life. I'm in Powhatan, VA.

Dr. Bautista was my surgeon. I was sleeved May 16! I live in Midlothian so not too far from you! Feel free to message me if you need to chat or have questions. One bit of advice...Bautista's older nurse who weighs you in? Double check everything she enters. She had ALL of my allergies wrong, she put me down as a smoker (I'm not) and various other boo-boos that were a pain to fix. Friendly warning!

Haha thanks for the advice. I definitely will double check! I might even ask to look at my info just to be sure.

I would triple love to have someone to talk to about this whole thing. I know NO one who's had surgery. So yes, would love to chat :)

I'm in Midlothian all the time. Sheesh..we're so close..maybe meet for lunch one day? I feel like I'm starving to talk to someone who can relate lol. I met a nice woman at my behavior mod class and we exchanged numbers and texted a few times. I have to be to St. Mary's for labs, etc. by 7. I think I'd better sleep!

Great! I tried to private message you my cell #, but it gives me a error (I'm using the app). Maybe I'll try the website instead.

      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.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!
