I'm hoping to have my surgery in November at Kaiser (West Los Angeles). I completed the 12 week of Options Classes that are required, lab work done, EKG, chest x-rays and pre-op appointment going over all the test results. Everything was good there but I was low on Vitamin D.

Now I'm waiting on the call to set up my appointment with the surgeon! I guess the EGD will be scheduled after? Can't wait to be with you all on the losers bench!! :D

Do you know what part of Austin your moving to? Have to let me know how you feel after surgery, that is what I am scared of.

Oh, the only things I have left to do are, ABG's, an all day education class (nutrition I think), and to meet with my doctor again. I have my ABG's on Sept 30th, and I'm going to pick up my preop diet info at that time.

Mine is November 14th! I can't wait. Was supposed to be October 24th, but the coordinator didn't return my FMLA forms in time. But either way I'm excited!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
