So I am here @ the dr office 1 week and a day before my surgery and I just feel like I am all over the place! I watched the video with all of the risks n possible complication that can go on during or after surgery, n although the risks were all rare it got me thinking.... "What have I gotten myself into?!! Then I hve to tke a breath n regroup!! Ok, I'm back!! Spoke to the nurse n that part of it was not too bad, now I am waiting to speak to the surgeon. I'm glad I took the day off because its a lot to process all @once!! I'm just really ready for this to b over... #NoTurningBackNow

Being nervous is very normal. My surgery was scheduled so fast I didn't get to experience the nervous part only got the I am so excited feeling. But after the surgery I was liike wow did I really just do this. Yea I did then I was nervous thinking what will I be able to eat. I was so used to stuffing my faced and planning my day around what I wanted to eat for the next meal I could not live my life. So this was life changing for me. It was also be life changing for you. I personally had no complications. Watching those videos can make you very nervous about the process. I would suggest you not watch them anymore. I know you want to know the possible risk and they are important to know but don't go to deep into it if you can help it. Good luck with your surgery!!!!!

You are feeling the same things I did. It's completely normal and healthy. You just have to know that if you don't do something the outcome being bad is guaranteed. If you do this the outcome if far more likely to be great!

      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.
