There is I'm just upset. I have been paying so hard.

Well, Dr. Garcia did my mom and my sisters sleeve and he did an awesome job! I think the Mexico route is a great option to look into :)

Still working towards the date of the 30th. Last week I did my stress, met with Dr Hooper, (surgeon) now the final touches! A preop diet class tomorrow , insurance approval. Then hopefully the 30th! I am so ready to start this journey. I have the support of my family, and the friends I have shared this with. I have chosen not to tell my coworkers at this time. One showed me a picture of her sister who had some type of gastric surgery and said let me show you a picture of her now! Didn't feel the live...lol.

Anyway we'll wishes to all on this LIFE changing journey.

Am

Is anyone scheduled for Friday? I would really love to have someone to walk with during this journey. I have struggled through preop diet. I do want this, but I have truly had a hard time with my eating.

Talk to your Dr. I hear and am told by many that they didn't really follow pre op due to medical or simply cheating with bad food up until 3 days before surgery! But def talk to your Dr. 10 is still enough time to get better! Hope you get through this ASAP! Keep us posted :-)

Hey everyone just trying to get all the September Sleevers together! I have my surgery September 30th. So when I wake up on the first of a new month I'll be a new person in the making :) let's all support and help one another!!

Hello, I just found this site. it is going to be great to hear from other people what they are going through with me. My surgery is scheduled for September 22, 2014. YEP in 6 days..... I am on the pre-op Protein Drinks and Clear Liquids also and my surgeon said I can have 1/2 cup of non-startchy vegetables a day. I usually have cukes and look forward to them cause I am so hungry!! today when I left a store, I just stood in the parking lot and breathed in the air cause someone was cooking steak or something and it smelled SOOOO GOOD..... LOL keep in touch, good luck!! Its a new journey never taken before, but will be better one day at a time..... :) Judy

      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? 🤷‍♀️
