Ok, sleeve family, I have been told that my date was Aug 23 and then found out that my doctor does not do surgery on Fridays. This is good because that is my anniversary so my hubby is happy but then they tell me the 22nd but by the time she responds back someone has taken my date. So, now my date as been put on the books as 29th of August. So I will be crossing over on Aug. 29th. I am so happy about it and cant wait. I should receive an email by Tuesday with all the information on what I should do at this point. I want to say congrats to all who have a date and to those who are still waiting good luck on your date and make it soon.

August 16th here! I think I'm the only one for that date so far. I am excited but so scared at the time same time. I know some of you feel the same way. What helps you work through those feelings of fear?

Hey, Mocha2871, maybe I'll see you! You planning to go to the support group there? I'd like to, but it's a bit far for me (I'm in Oak Park).

Got the date! August 13th! Have to start my job Aug 19th though! I was hoping for an earlier date in August! I work as a school counselor and kids won't be at school that first week so I am hoping low key week and I can manage it. From most accounts, without complications, people feel a lot better by that 3rd week out. I think I can...I think I can...anyone else August 13th or having to get back to work sooner than hoped?

I have to be back at school and in a 4 hour simulation lab 9 days in. I plan on sitting as often as necessary.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
