Hi! Not from Long Island but definitely a New Yorker! Started my process in April! Seems like forever ago. How far are you in this crazy journey?

Hi There

I began my journey in late May

I have seen my surgeon, gone to a support group, seminar. and several specialists for clearance so far.

I am a wife and mother.

My husband doesn't want me to go forward thinking I can do this on my own.

My son 32, is all for it,,,

I feel like I need the support of someone going through the same thing at the same time as I am.

Glad u responded!

Below please find my email address as I find this website very hard to navigate and would rather communicate through e-mails.

I'm sorry you don't have the complete support of your hubs! My husband has supported me through thick and thin lol. He knows that this decision did not come easy for me and I think he respects me a but more for taking this on. I have a 6 year old daughter and I want so much for her. I have such body image issues and I don't want to project any of that on her. She's beautiful and has her daddy's metabolism, thank God! I am just waiting for the insurance company to come to their senses lol. ???? cardiology, pulmonology, endocrinology, gastroenterology, psych, nutritional counseling...I'm done. The insurance co change policy in the middle of my journey and decided that 2 NUT sessions were not sufficient and are requiring 6! Sooo that puts me at October after having an August date. I'm here if you need to vent and share ????

      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? 🤷‍♀️
