My 6 months pre-op starts tomorrow!



Recommended Posts

Hi everyone, I have a full day scheduled tomorrow at the Beaumont Weight Control Center in SCS Michigan! I see the Weight Control physician, the NUT, the Exercise Physiologist, and the Phycologist. This is my first of 6 month appointments, putting me at my surgery date in late February, early March! I'm so very excited to learn all I can about this awesome second chance at life I am getting. A small part of me wishes I didn't have to go thru the 6 month insurance required treatment but the biggest part of me is so happy and excited to learn how to live with the sleeve and all the new journeys that await me.

I'd LOVE a buddy who is on the same timeline as I am or anyone that would share their journey. Wish me luck!

Time will go by faster once you're actively involved in the process. It'll fly by before you know it. Congrats!

Hi! I've been going through Beaumont, too (Troy). My surgery is Dec14 at RO. The six months seems so long, but you will learn so much and really make some great changes that will help you succeed in the long run! So happy for us all!!!

All went great today! They even got the cardiac clearance from my cardiologist (I have Hypertrophic Cardio Myopathy). I am overwhelmed with all nutritional info they gave me. It will be a busy weekend for me reading up on everything. 1 month visit down, 5 more months to go! I'm so excited for this journey!

I am in my 5th month. Now we are just waiting for approval from the insurance and my surgery date. The waiting is what's nerve wracking.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
