Hey there! I am also a patient of Dr. Nick. My surgery is scheduled for June! I am actually a revision patient as I had a band that slipped and had to be removed, now I'm going to be a sleeved!! I am a ball of emotions! Dreading the pre and post op diets but it's all so worth it!! Congrats on your surgery date!

You too! I'm just ready to get through these tough parts and enjoy my life at a higher level! I am anxious about the diets but have to start on the 25th. Don't want to get into surgery and have them back out because my liver is too big. Are you going to go to the support group meetings he offer some?

Yes the pre op diet is very important... But we can do it! I went in March and April but won't be able to go this month. Have you been? They are great and you learn a lot!

I live in New Brunswick, Canada and I'm getting sleeved on June 8th. Would love to chat with others who are having surgery around the same time

Yes, we can all do this. Haven't been to support group yet planning on attending them. I belonged to one after having cancer and it was a lifesaver in getting through that. Is one better than the other? Dr. Nick gave me 2 options.

      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.
