Hi all,

My surgery date is 09/21. I would love to have someone with a surgery date that is close to mine that I can email to share progress. I don't know anyone who has had the surgery and I have nothing to compare it to. I am feeling a little nervous! Please let me know if you are interested.

Thank you!

sept 7th bandsters, how are you doing? i am hungry now. I have to stay on liquids two weeks. hard to do! I am trying real hard, too scared to eat anything anyway. still have left sided pain, i think that is where my port is. This hurt more than my gallbladder surgery in may did. but it is getting better day by day. Just wondering if anyone on the 7th is going thru the same thing as me right now.

good luck everyone

      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.
