I'm from Four Oaks NC (30 minutes south from Raleigh). I plan to do my surgery with Duke and got to my seminar on Auguest 22. I'm just starting on my journey, hopefully it won't take forever to get to the surgery!

Hi All,

I am looking to start a support group in Cornelius, NC. I own a coffee shop in Cornelius and am looking to host an evening for both those you are about to have surgery and those that have already had it. I had surgery in Mexico and find that I am falling off the wagon so to speak, I just think it will be good to swap idea's and stories. Anyone interested please let me know.

Thanks,

Charlie

Hello NC I have not posted in a while I was sleeved on the July 12, 2013 at Rex Hospital my doctor was Dr Paul Enoch, my biggest complication my blood sugar dropped in the hospital that made me stay an extra day. Once home I was great I was in a pinch but not pain, I actually started walking 1 wk after surgery. My biggest problem I have had since was Constipation, nothing Water, stool softeners, phillips want handle. I feel wonderful I have more energy than I have ever had. This was the best decision I could have made in my life, off diabetic, blood pressure med, I love it. When I went for my consultation in Feb 2013 my weight was 274, my weight to date is 215. I live in Charlotte so I go to the YWCA daily still follow the 6, 9, 12, 3, 6, 9 snack and meal plan still eat like I'm suppose to this is a life style now. I did have a stall but I refuse to give up compared to how hard I have tried to lose weight and to no avail being sleeve has been good. My son's have a problem with the attention I now get. Lol. To all of you who are going you will do great follow your protocol(your rules) that your Dr give you. To those of you who have already been sleeve congratulation don't be discourage if you hit a stall, you may have to adjust either drink more water or Protein chg your exercise but whatever you do, dont give up keep the FAITH everyday may not be good but keep going the end results are worth it for all of us life changing

      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? 🤷‍♀️
