Thank you for that info! I've never heard if that before. Interesting! I hope that clears up super fast for you!

Alright, I have one more question. What exactly is a NUT? I see it on here all the time and I think it's the dietician, but not sure :)

I am super new here but I believe it stands for Nutritionist....I could be wrong though! Haha

I am waiting to hear from the surgical coordinator. I have called and sent emails. I am so excited I cant sit still. I have everything done except my Edoscopy which is next Wednesday. I am hoping she calls me and says next month. I am on pins and needles... LOL. To all of you that are in the same boat I am, I hope all goes well with everyone. I know I havent been this excited in a long time. "STOKED"

Hi! My surgery is July 9th. I'm 5 ft and 206 pounds. I chose the sleeve but thinking about switching to gastric bypass. Anybody have thoughts on that ?? I also would love to have someone to go through this journey with!!

Hey jaxsee I'm July 9th too. There is no reason for you to have a bypass. You're only 206!!! Sleeve is the way to go. We can be buddies!!! So excited to start this journey. My hubby and family are not happy with this decision so support is greatly appreciated. I'm 265 5'2" 36 yrs old. I wish everyone success!!

The dr office is submitting to my insurance next week. They are saying they would schedule for first part of August if everything comes back ok. I just turned 45, and can't wait to get this new journey started. I am currently at 310 and 5'11". I am getting the sleeve.

I am hoping to have my sleeve the first week in July! So glad for a support group! I will be having it done in Mexico. Self pay! Down fall is you don't get the help beforehand? So I am doing a lot of reading. Any support would be great!

I am so ticked off right now. I have been seeing my PCP for several months for Weight Managemnt and I was told this would count as towards my insurance requirements. So i spoke with the advocate at the hospital today and she informs me my doctors notes are not thorough enough . Now i have to start three months of classes. I ws hoping to have surgery soon . Al other pre -op testing done except psh eval which is scheduled next week. Now it may be late August before i am sleeved. (TEARS)

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

      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? 🤷‍♀️
