I've been going through a similar situation, so I know how frustrating and depressing it can be. I'm so happy you're having the surgery though! I'm so happy you've past that road block. Good luck to you for a speedy recovery. Keep us all updated!

thank you so much. I hope yours are resolved so you can get on with your journey too. This has been such a roller coaster. I think I will really believe it about 5 tomorrow afternoon when it is done and I am in my room and somebody is asking me to walk. Hugs

[*]Hi first of all just a bit of background. I am a 57 year old waiting for revision from band to rny. I was approved for surgery. On Nov 7' date=' Minutes before being taken back for surgery Doc comes in and says my Blood sugars are too high and we need to postpone surgery till Dec 5 and to work with my endo to get the sugars under better control (i am very uncontrolled which is my reason for wanting the surgery)

[*']meanwhile I begin having really severe pain in my lower right abdomen and in my right back area. I call my Family Doc like a good girl thinking this must be a kidney stone or something. Family Doc has ultrasound done, no stones, no infection no clue.

[*]Baratric Surgeon orders an abdominal ct scan, it shows something on the right ovary

[*]Baratric Surgeon orders a pelvic ultrasound and wants me to see my Gynecologist (haven't been to one in more than 20 years, just use my PCP for that)

[*]Baratric Nurse called and read the ultrasound report and it shows a mass and a cyst and some calcification on the ovary.

[*]The first appt I could get (started calling Monday) to see a Gyno was this coming Tues at 11:00

[*]Bypass surgery is supposed to be Wed.

[*]So I have been on a pre op diet for the better part of six weeks.

[*]I am very discouraged and just don't know what to think.

[*]I feel like I am so close to having the opportunity to get healthy and my body is fighting me every step of the way.

[*]I just wanted to let everyone know and ask for your prayers and any advice.

[*]Thanks for reading all of this

My prayers are with u

      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? 🤷‍♀️
