I can't believe my surgery is tomorrow. Went through a panic moment this afternoon but now I'm feeling better. The prep isn't very fun the day before surgery but like anything this too shall pass (literally)????. I pray for no complications! I will post again postoperative.

Actually, the surgeon cancelled my surgery 15 minutes before my surgery time. I had my IV started and the anesthesiologist saw me. The surgeon looked at my abdomen and saw a couple superficial scratches and said if he had to convert to an open procedure, one of them would be in the area and he didn't want to risk infection. I'm a nurse and I was in complete shock to cancel surgery because of a couple superficial scratches. I have never seen that before. So, I am switching surgeons and hoping to have the surgery in January or Feb. I was so bummed.

Oh my goodness, @@rmckellips! That's terrible! I can't imagine getting so psyched up and then having everything fall apart at the last minute. I would be royally P!SSED 0FF. I'm glad to hear you're looking for an alternative and planning to move ahead soon. It's impossible not to lose a little bit of momentum from this, but it's still important and you can make it happen. Best of luck pushing ahead.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
