Thanks :) yea the waiting process here is quite long because where I am from the surgery is covered free of charge by the Health ministry. Whereas the lapband isn't and costs around $17, 000.

I just found this forum! My surgery has been moved up to April 1! I'm sort of in shock... It seemed so far away for so long, and now it's suddenly just around the corner! It's been a roller coaster of emotion, but I'm so excited for this next chapter in my life.

Welcome to the group. I will add you to the list. I agree with you on how fast the time seems to be going. I made a ticker in my phone to count down when it was 54 days away. Today it said 36 and it seemed like "WOW" to me. Cant wait! You share your date with 2 others in our group(so far) and the three of you will be the first to "report" back to us that will be waiting! :P

Welcome Jeannette! Nerves are normal, but think about the outcome and that should help! I will add you to our list! :)

      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? 🤷‍♀️
