It seems like since I've started the process for this surgery it's been one thing after another and in the last two weeks things have came crashing down! First thing that happened my friend decided she wasn't going to watch my son and instead of telling me she just avoided me. It's been problem after problem but today I've finally had it. I was suppose to have my medicine by today. I called the pharmacy I won't get my medication, some of it pre-op meds, until Tuesday. My surgery is on Monday... I'm so stressed out! I'm going to have to make the 5-6 hour trip home with no pain meds and hope they can give me my pre-op meds in the hospital. I'm sorry to vent it just seems like it's been one thing after another! I'm hoping nothing else happens otherwise I might be tempted to cancel and go on!

Im so sorry that you are experiencing all of these challenges, I do hope things change for you soon, as your surgeon about your pan meds because mine was filled at the hospital before I left and they were even cheaper. Good luck my friend and perhaps your friend is getting insecure about your new you. Congrats on your choice in being healthy.

I was hoping they would just give me a prescription after surgery but my doctor only goes through certain pharmacies then they are supposed to send them out fedex 2 days. Well that didn't happen. They sent them out yesterday and didn't use two day :( so the medication will arrive the day after surgery and I won't be home :( thank you so much for your kind words! I'm going to really try and look at the bright side of things and stay optimistic! I hope nothing else goes wrong though :(

Well he gave me a prescription but I couldn't get it filled anywhere so I just dealt with the trip home. I'm overall pretty disappointed in this whole process but happy the surgery is done and I'm home!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
