I have to get a heart monitor next week and wear it for 48 hours and then because the local cardiologist will be out of town for a week I have to wait until Aug 14th for the stress test... then wait until the 20th for my appointment with the cardiologist... sigh... hurry up and wait seems to be par for the course!!! My surgeon for the sleeve is 6 hrs away so most of my interaction is through email at the moment. I sent the nurse this info about the cardiologist yesterday (I'll probably hear back Monday) so I don't know if this affects anything yet? I don't have a surgery date yet anyway, waiting for the approval paperwork back from insurance (I was told verbally yesterday that I have been approved --- yaaaaayyy). LOL patience is NOT my strong suit... I'll keep my fingers crossed for you!!! Steph

Good luck I had to do a stress test passed with an 86 that was good considering my ekg was abnormal and I was freaking out. Make sure you stay on top of the doctor visits because I did my stress test passed and my surgeon called that they didnt clear me and it was over 2 months.....I was always calling and making sure they had everything :)....

Thanks!! I heard back from the surgeon and they said that they would just talk to me at my pre-op appt on the 6th. So I guess they aren't too concerned with it. But of luck to you! Hope you get your surgery date soon!

      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.
