I was ... 3 years ago. Who is your surgeon?

Mine was Umbach. Let me tell you, it was hot. I don't know if you have ever been in desert climates in the summer, but it is nothing short of amazing if you have never acclimated to that type of climate. Even before your surgery, be sure to stay well hydrated. I thought it was great, though, as there is plenty of air conditioned casino space to walk and walk and walk and sip and sip and sip ...

Winner! Winner! pureed chicken Dinner!!

Sergey lyass is my surgeon. I live here so I do know how hot it is lol. Been here since 1987 and still run and hide from the heat hang out at the mall or the theater. Sometimes it is so hot there's power outages. We Were going to try to plan a camping trip during August maybe to get out of here.

I have to go to Vegas in July for business. On my birthday no less. I will be packing my own meals and plan on using the pool while I'm there.

And the blackjack tables. ;)

I wish you a healthy surgery, and speedy recovery!

Be well…

Ah yes, the rolling blackouts. My mother lives in Palm Desert, so they have them there, too.

I used to live in Palm Desert, as well, and I know the July heat, as do you. My wife has been down to the desert, but always in the spring. Hot, but nothing like July. She has never had to acclimate to those conditions and it was quite uncomfortable for her, coming from the Great NorthWest. You can say, yes, it is a dry heat, but 115 degrees is just uncomfortable.

Good luck and keep us updated. As I understand it, there are a few good support groups in the Vegas area. Have you searched the BP site for info?

Not really . I think I need to go on my computer and search around and learn how to maneuver around rather than my phone. There are things that are available that I cannot do on my phone I understand. Like add friends. Thanks for the info though

      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.
