Hi Everyone!

Yes there is a FB that is private. Strength In Numbers Sleeve Support is the title of the group. There are about 5-7 of us in there. Would be great if people would join so we can chit chat easier on FB and get to know one another.

Hi Everyone,

My name is Cathy and I live in Saskatchewan, Canada. I am being sleeved by Dr. Alejandro Lopez at Tijuana Mi hospital on Sept. 2/13. I am staying at the Marriot. I am very excited with a little pinch of nervous. Anyone else out there on this date.

Hi Cathy,

Yes I will be in TJ for surgery 9/2 by Dr. Venazuela. I did get a chance to talk to Beth. So that will make 3 of us pacing the halls!

Is there a fb group now?

I believe Jo Brown was looking into setting one up. Not sure of status.

That link doesn't work.

Another September 10th here. Would like to join a Facebook group if someone sets it up!

I will be having my surgery on September 16th at the Fresno Kaiser hospital. I kinda wish they had a sooner date for me but I didn't want to change surgeons and I still have labs and another visit with the surgeon that I have to get done before the 16th. So this gives me time to get everything done at a relaxed pace,gives me another month to gather post op necessities, and gives work plenty of notice so they can figure things out as far as schedules go!

Do you think you have to be retested after the antibiotics?

Yes, some physicians will redo blood work .

Same for me! I have been away from my computer all day long (working with about 30 kids on a circus:) ) and I am just now catching up!

Hi everyone!

Ellenpro, we are on the same day!! I was just approved this afternoon for revision surgery on Sept. 16th. Even though I've been through lap-band surgery, I'm still super nervous!!!!!!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
