Horrible... not as I wanted. In the begining it was perfect.. setting my date and my preop class for next week... THEN boom oh well we need you to do one more test, THEN the nurse was like well now she has to wait until next month for the Preop class. Now I won't be sleeved till the end of July. Hope your appointment was better?

Well I had to go see my pulmonary dr b4 dr Nihalani & he told me I have sleep apnea so now I have to get measured & they have hook me up on a machine to sleep with :( but I have to set it up ASAP before surgery ... So I'm in the June 14th class and pending date of surgery either the 11th or the 18th !! I won't know until Monday !! So more waiting ... I found out He only does surgery every Thursday & every other Friday ... & it's only like 1 or 2 patients in 1 day

What test do you have to get done ??

They want me to get a sleep study done now, which I didn't need before.. and I am losing weight on my own so not 100% sure. The dr they suggested wanted me to wait 2 months for an appointment, I said no thanks and called a different dr. I have to get one more test done for my PCOS. July 3rd I go back to Dr. N's office. July 12th is my Preop class and he said 2 weeks from then will be my date. I have been seeing Dr. N since last August.. just feels like surgery is never happening. UHHHHH -_-

Today I am not feeling happy. Back pain is terrible. I have been trying to walk in the house but it is pouring outside. I know it will get better. Just got to get over this beginning!

Wow! 3 nights in the hospital? My dr asked if I wanted another night but wanted to be home. Not like they were doing anything else besides bothering me so often.

Just feeling a bit defeated today. I felt the same yesterday so assumed today would be a little better.

I think I need to read some happy posts! I am usually good at tolerating pain. It was better to be sleeping the first few days!!

      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.
