I think mine will be Nov 25 with Dr. Illan - but I'm waiting to find out about some financing this week to confirm. I'm scared! But, I know it must be done.

I'm scheduled for Nov 1st with Ortiz at the OCC. I sent away for my passport today - hopefully it gets here in time. Now I'm trying to figure out flight info and money....

Does anyone have any advice on flights home? There's a cheaper on that's got a 4 hour layover on the way back.... I think that might suck. Or it might be good to walk? Thoughts??

All of our flights have layovers aswell, we chose one with a longer layover for the way home. Give us time to stretch and not be in a rush. Plane tickets, we booked through Expedia because they were the cheapest. I have booked through them lots before so I don't have issues with it, but some people feel uneasy with not booking directly through a travel agent or airline. Please please please share with me your experience on the first!! I am there on the 25th :) Best of luck to you!!!

Looks like most people fly, my husband is driving me. 9 hours from home. I didnt want to be standing in lines, stuck smooshed on a plane or lay over time. It's possible I may regret my descision to drive but we shall see. My doc made me promise I will stop every hour and walk for a few minutes. 50 days left on the countdown. C'mon NOVEMBER !

      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? 🤷‍♀️
