I am scheduled to have my sleeve done on October 6th (started the process on March 1st, 2015.) I'd love to have a "surgery buddy" who is having the procedure the same day or very close to the date. Anyone interested?

Who me? I knew you enjoyed the conversations. I was out training my dog. Felt good to get outside.

One of the trails I am hiking

Shout out to marciaN. Best wishes to you on the 13th. Keep us posted.

I'm in Denver, CO.

One week post op tomorrow.....so looking forward to soups and soft foods hopefully Weds. Protein shakes are increasingly difficult to swallow. Getting 64+ oz of water is much easier. I still don't have much energy....walking a couple blocks totally wipes me out.

I have lost 10 pounds since my preop weigh in on 9/30. Never would have thought that was possible!

6 days Post op..having my first hard day. Nothing seems to want to go down and I woke up with a metal taste in my mouth..other than that I feel good

Go to the doctor. You should not feel this way

I just had my sleeve on Oct 9. Would love to have a buddy or 2

So no surgery for me-- for awhile. My cardiology exam did not go well. I've either had a heart attack in the past or have a birth defect in my heart I have to wait for insurance approval and then have a PET scan on my heart and then possibly an angiogram. I never had an EKG before doing my preop for the sleeve I have no idea if this is a lifelong thing or something that happened recently. To say I was scared and bummed would be an understatement. I am just really thankful that I have already lost 56 pounds. It might be that I won't be able to be sleeved. But that doesn't mean I can't keep doing what I am doing. I won't be losing as quickly as each of you but hopefully I will eventually make it to my goal. I feel a little like a rug has been pulled out from under me but in the long run I have to be very happy that I discovered this. If I had not been preparing for the sleeve I might have never found out about this! I am not writing a lot now since I don't feel I really have anything to contribute anymore- but I am reading all your posts and excited for each of you!

Marcia,

I am sure you are disappointed after anticipating the surgery for so long. BUT, thank goodness they found this now so you can be treated for it and be in the best health. You seem like a very determined individual and I'm certain you will still succeed in becoming healthier in whatever way is safest for you. Best of luck and please stick around and let us know how you are doing! ((HUGS)) Thinking all the best for you.
