Hi Shiloh 0772 how have you been ? Just reading some posts and trying to recontact some people on here who are likely to have surgery in November. I know you said you wanted to Maryland buddy well I'm in Maryland just two and a half hours away. Where are you in your pre op process? Do you already have your surgery date? What testing are you still needing? How are you feeling about it all? Hope to hear from you... Jenn

I'm well, thank you! I have one more pre-op weight check as well as all my pre-op blood work etc with my PCP on the 20th. I meet with the NUT on 11/3 & have my pre-op appt with the surgeon on 11/4, start the modified liquid diet, then surgery on 11/17! I can't wait!

When is your date & where are you in the process?

Hi Shiloh and Jenn, I live in silver spring, md and I am scheduled for a sleeve on November 12th. I just found out my operation date on Friday, so I am trying to get prepared and found this forum. If you are looking for another person from Maryland to share the experience....let me know.

Hi Shiloh, Kes, Gigi, and mnmlst this is Jenn. Get in touch with my Maryland November surgery buddies. My surgery is November the 4th I start my pre op diet on October 21st. I think I'm eating anything that's not nailed down lol. Luckily I don't have to have another weigh in at the surgeon's office just pre op I think on the day of surgery.....phew. I've definitely gained the seven pounds back that I lost during my 3 months insurance requirement. oh well..... This thing is about to drastically change come the 21st and even more so once I have my surgery on the 4th. I have to have a cardiac stress test and echocardiogram this coming week to get my cardiac clearance. Then Everything will be finished except for the surgery. Can't wait. Let me know how all of you were doing how your tests are progressing how you are doing in these weeks leading up to surgery. Ttyl

Hi, Jenn! Where in MD are you? I can Sooo identify with the eating everything around! I did that until a couple weeks ago when my surgeon mentioned exercise. He told me to start now because if the habit starts prior to surgery, it is more likely to continue after surgery.

I live in Southern Maryland about an hour south of DC in La Plata. The BluePoint surgical group where my surgeon is is in Fairfax Virginia about an hour and 20 minutes from me. I'm having my surgery at Fair Oaks Hospital. Their surgery practice in the hospital both have the Center of Excellence designation. So I feel good about whose hands I've put myself in. You might have already said but where are you from? And hello to the Baltimore poster who just signed on recently. Welcome to the Maryland surgery group

      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? 🤷‍♀️
