Boston Mass and would love to find an actual physical support group. That would be cool. I'm sure my hospital and group will turn me on to some resources.

Ladies and Gentlemen, I just read through 30 pages of comments and not one other Okie!

So ya'll, I'm from the Tulsa, Oklahoma area. Anyone on here from the area?

I'm about 2-2 1/2 hrs SE of Tulsa. Grew up in & around Tulsa off & on my whole life. :)

@@sleevydreams Where are you having surgery? I'm having mine at Bailey Medical because it's close to home and has a pretty great reputation. I'm actually in Owasso, a little rural but we love it!

Well, I'm still in the research phase, but pretty certain I will go to Tijuana, MX to dr. verboonen. Several people from around here have been to him in either tijuana or Cancun & have had great success & have had nothing but great reviews of his staff & facilities. My insurance covers no part of anything weight loss related so I'll have to pay out of pocket. The price they charge includes everything but the airfare so it's a more "do-able" option for me. Oh btw, I lived in owasso for part of my 5th grade year. It is a very nice place. :)

      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? 🤷‍♀️
