I'm sorry about your delay. It can feel like forever, but you're there and ready to go. I have me surgery on Friday and time seems to be moving in near reverse! Good luck and remember to enjoy the journey, even the delay!

Well I'm officially on the other side! Yesterday was a tad but chaotic! 2 hours late then spent 6 hours in recovery bc the hospital had no beds! I was pretty nauseas and kept dry heaving, that was painful! Finally I got a room at 930pm! So car as most say the worst pain is the gas! I've walked and walked and it just woke go away! Today in on a lesser strength drug. Otherwise I'm pretty pleased with everything! Sipping lots of Water even had 3 2-oz cups of broth which was heavenly! I was able to bring/put in some pj pans and undies and the nurse helped me clean up, that felt awesome! I was offered to go home today but I decided to stay the extra night! I'm glad I did, it's pretty quiet now that all my visitors have headed home! I'm off to do a few more laps around the unit before I head to bed! Nighty Night!

Glad to hear you're doing better and are on the other side. My sister had her surgery in Denison, tx and the same thing happened to her. She got into recovery at around noon and finally got a room after 8pm!!! She was so frustrated and upset, but I can honestly say that the staff was amazing the entire time.

Hang in there and keep up that walkin n sippin.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
