Good luck!!!!!!! Will be over before you know it. Just remember to walk all you can, speeds healing and help you get rid of the gas they pump in you. Pain should be very minimal.

Congrats to those who got their dates, hang in there fit those on the pre-op diet and let's do this for this having surgery soon!

I had my pre-op appt Wednesday, blood work, ekg and final weigh-in. I was of by 1 kg so I basically made goal.

I have surgery in 5 hrs. I tried to sleep but no dice. I had to take a double shower with Descutan an antimicrobial soap and will take one more before I leave to the hospital. Also had to give myself a heparin shot, the needle was nothing but the injection burned a little. Packed my bag, journaled and now just trying to sleep and wait. Oh and I will take 5 prophylactic antibiotics before I go too. I'll only stay one night and visiting hrs are dumb from 3pm-7pm. So I'll be alone majority of the time.

Not really afraid, just anxious to get it over with so I can start healing. I'm hoping pain won't be too bad as they don't give an Rx for pain meds, it's Tylenol after discharge home. Got all that, lol! Sorry it's so long...

      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.
