I have a date of August 29th. I have not technically been approved yet, the paperwork was submitted as of last Tuesday. I really wanted August 13th, I am in school and it would have given me 10 days before I had to be back in class to get over that initial hump, without missing any class, but my surgeon took a two week vacation. I requested the first day after he gets back. It might mean a missed day of school, but I am just going to do it. Otherwise I have to wait until December. Let's go approval letter!

My husband and I are both being sleeved as well. :). Our date is August 3rd with dr.kelly. Who are y'all using?

We're going to Dr. Alvarez in Piedra Negras. I should probably be concerned about the surgery itself but i find myself worrying about the liquid diet bit more. Really if I could eat nothing but 4 Protein shakes a day, would I really need the surgery?? :P

I'm sure we'll get through it, but I worry about failing before I even start. Positive thoughts!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
