Congrats and welcome to this awesome group. You will find the answers you need here. I have learned so much from this forum. I usually check in atleast three times a day to see what everyone is up to and what else I can learn. I have 8 days before my surgery and I'm ok. If I didn't have all of this information I probably would be crazy by now. Lol. Please keep us updated.

Hi there raleigh' date='nc. I live in wake forest. I had my surgery at rex.[/quote']

Hey there! Awesome a area pal! I had mine at Duke. I did not think the surgery was an option for me due to horrible reflux problems. But when I began to develope scarring in my esophagus from the acid I was referred for it as a fix for reflux. After surgery I was told I also had a hiatal hernias where 20% of my stomach was in my throat!

I have not had a stomach ache since two days after the surgery.

Such a blessing and I consider the weightless a gift from God for the years of suffering with the stomach problems.

I wish you much success.

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.
