Anyone getting sleeved on August 19 or around that time?? If so who's doing it and where are you going? I'm getting sleeved by Dr. Aceves in Mexicali . Would like to keep in contact with people getting sleeved around the same date always better to have support from people who are going through the same thing at around the same time :)

I'm also getting sleeved on August 19. I'm having mine done here in Northern Michigan by Dr. Nagle. I'd love to be surgery buddies. Do you have to travel far for your surgery?

I will have mine on the 19th as well. I was originally scheduled for the 22nd of July, then it was changed to the 29th, and then again to the 19th of Aug! Hopefully I wont have anymore setbacks, although the two I had were not of my own doing. I am having mine done in Dallas, Tx by Dr. Kuhn.

Wow that's a lot of changes ... Insurance? I am guessing. I am a self pay so I just had to pick a date and make sure my tests were good. I could of gone on the wait list here in Canada but it would of taken about 6-10 years just to have it done.

@ sweetmom21, It wasn't behind the insurance thank God. It was first a miscomunication between the scheduler and the Doctor because it was scheduled while the Doctor would be in meetings or something like that so it was pushed back a week. Then something happened with the Doctor and he had to reschedule all of his July surgeries in order to have a procedure done on himself or so I am told. So I have gone through the up and down part and really just want to get this over and done.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
