May Sleevers...where are you?



Recommended Posts

Hello all

I am scheduled for surgery on May 6th. I am scheduled for pre-op visit with my Doctor in two weeks and final pre-op labs that same day. I am anxious to get this done as it has been a long journey getting to this point. I am having my surgery done at Kaiser South Bay in California. :)

Im also in Cali!!! Yeay!!

I'm scheduled for May 18! I had hoped to have it done in March too, but I got set back when they diagnosed me with sleep apnea. 6 weeks of monitoring that, and now it's only 27 days away (but who's counting!).

I'm so excited, and so are my worn out knees. Ready to do this!

I just did pre op today! First was getting vials and going over medical history and medications with a nurse, then I got an EKG and a couple tubes of blood drawn and then Chest xrays. I also spoke with an anesthesia nurse about preop stuff like no food after midnight and washing with a chlorhexadine scrub the night before. I also signed more papers and got my admission time and directions for surgery day. I had had extensive bloodwork and an EKG done in December, so that was just recheck stuff.

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.
