I'm excited to share that my surgery is just five days away! I started considering the surgery in January when my family doc recommended that I look into it. I've tried just about every diet out there and have had NO long-term success. I've been through all of the pre-op tests and requirements and my insurance company has deemed it medically necessary and will pay 100% for the surgery and doc. I'm getting very excited about it, although I have to admit that I'm also nervous.

Everything is all set, all I have to do is continue following the pre-surgery diet and head to the hospital on the morning of surgery.

Hoping for the best. :)

You're going to do great with your positive attitude! I was sleeved June 24 and have felt better than I have in years. Already off blood pressure meds and 2 diabetes meds. Hope to be off all by 6 week checkup!

I look forward to being off my blood pressure medicine also. That's great news.

WOW! Tomorrow is the BIG day! I'm getting really excited! My excitement actually outweighs my nervousness. Today is a Clear liquids day, and Jello if I need something else to curb the hunger. The surgery should be over by this time tomorrow. Trying to think of everything I need to take to the hospital with me .... pulling things together for the hospital and getting the house in order will help with the few nerves I'm having. :-)

Hi all, I had surgery on Tuesday morning and everything went very well. The surgeon was very happy with how surgery went. I'm still sore and moving slowly, but each day gets better. I'm having a bit of trouble getting in the Water and Protein shakes as directed by the doc because it feels so strange and I feel full so quickly. I'm hoping all of that will settle down over the next couple of days. I think part of it is just my wacky nerves, as when my nerves are on overload I have a hard time swallowing food/drink, so hopefully all of that will settle down soon. Looking forward to being healed and getting on with this process of losing weight and getting healthier! :-)

      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!!
