I'm in Las Vegas....having my sleeve April 11th by Dr. Cabrera in Tijuana. Like Dr. Atkinson but self pay & he is very expensive. Worth it I have no doubt. But I've read so much and done a lot of research I feel very good about my decision.

Now 3:30 pm, feeling pretty good. The pain from the gas they fill you with was horrible for about 3 hours when I woke up in recovery. Up walking helped that a lot. Incision sites a bit sore but not that bad. N

It's 6:00 pm, day of surgery. I feel surprisingly pretty good. Surgery was just after 10:00 am, they found and repaired a hiatal hernia which I had no idea I had. Upon waking up in recovery I was in a HUGE amount of discomfort from the gas used that was to inflate my abdomen. I was told to walk, walk and walk again. By 3:00, was feeling better and at 6:00, the gas pain is gone Had a small bout with nausea when I first started the ice chips but they gave me something that took care of it and now am up walking around, drinking my "shot" of broth and even the Jello. I am so excited to begin my next chapter!

I too just checked out of Desert Springs on Sat Feb 22nd. I was resleeved since I didn't feel any restriction the first time. My biggest fear now is to eat. I am wanting to stay on Protein Shakes forever out of fear that I will not experience restriction again. Guess dealing with the head issues are my biggest battle right now.

      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.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!
