Hey Gaffer how's that special room you booked ? Hope it's nice.

It's not so much that it was a special room that I booked, just a special rate for Valentine's day.

Other than that the hotel if fine for what we need it for.

Hey guys! I made it to the "other" side!! I feel fine except for the upper gas discomfort. Gas X is amazing! You can't neccesarily OD on that can you?? I also have some neck and shoulder discomfort but no pain at the sites so far.

Thank you all for yur kind words, well wishes and support. I have started my journey and it just seems all so surreal right now. Talk to ya guys later.

Hey Gang,

Just checkin in after my surgery. Things are going pretty well, and I am up a walking around, Gas pain has not been too bad, mostly like a muscle ache. Dr. C also had to fix a hernia while he was in there so he said that will contribute to the pain. 3 of the 4 patients he did yesterday had to have heria repairs

Becca, I did not get a chance to see you at the clinic yesterday, you were in recovery while i was in being preped.

Thanks for the support guys.

Yes Andrew, I suspected I was in lala land while you were there. Glad to hear you're doing well.

I am pretty sure you were in lala land. I remember hearing the nurse telling you that you had to brethe.

I gotta say that I found all the staff there to be really good, and the Dr. who did the anestesia was excellent.

Andrew congrats on the successful surgery! You and Becca both sound like you are doing fine. Good to hear. :)

I am almost 6 days out and I am feeling really well. Probably could have gone back to work but hey the time is covered so oh well. :girl_hug: So happy about the idea of taking off the strips this weekend. They are a little itchy. My skin is really sensitive so the strips leave itchy red marks. Yuck! Other than that just some minor pains here and there when I move in certain ways but that's about it.

Again Becca and Andrew congrats. Hope you are both heal up fast and well. :girl_hug:

      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? 🤷‍♀️
