Yes, we were both there. His surgery got moved back, so glad it did. Another young lady who was also there had her surgery last week at the "Doctors Hospital" which she said was awful. Her husband could not get her out of there fast enough. I didn't get any details other than the fact that it was bad. I'm very happy that we will be at St. Joseph's.

Pls. Keep me posted on your progress, best always!

Hello Tarabby & Malq' date=' I hope your surgery went well, waiting to hear about your recovery. I really hope it was easy and breezy for you.

I am also going through Dr. Pleatman at St. Joseph's. Did either of you have a drain bag? I'm reading and hearing about it and not sure if everyone goes home with it.

Wishing you a speedy and successful recovery! :)[/quote']

Surgery when really good! I only had to stay one night in the hospital and I am home now. Not much of an appetite so it's hard to get down a shake but I feel surprisingly good. Doing way better than I expected :) was having a hard time peeing post op but that seems to have resolved itself. Just taking it easy and lots of testing. When is your surgery??

Oh and no drain bag! He thought I would need one since my surgery was a revision from the lap band, but it went better than even Dr Pleatman expected :) he's definitely the right dr to go to for this. I couldn't be happier :)

His is coming up next week, and I'm in the process of getting a pre-authorization and looking forward to getting this over in mid August. Most of everything I need is done, with the exception of pysc eval. Please do keep in touch and let me know how you are coming along. Best always! :)

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

      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? 🤷‍♀️
