Hi Everyone! I live in Southeastern CT. I had my Gastric Sleeve surgery back on 10/8/2014 at Backus Hospital with Dr. Mark Tousignant ..whi is now at Manchester Hosp in South Windsor. I started at 243lbs 5'4 . I am now at 162lbs. I had a little regain of like 12 to 13lbs and went to see my surgeon and he helped my start to lose that plus a couple lbs more. I followed him to his new office to remain a patient of his. I love my sleeve and do not regret it. I feel like the person I lost is able to step out again...always felt me inside but felt trapped in my body and dis not want to continue on that path. My weight came off mainly over the first year..and a few more after but I maintained for the most part.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
