I'm super nervous about getting this done but I know I need it to get my surgery and it's the last thing I need to have.... I've never been put to sleep by anesthesia and im freaking out!!!! Am I making this a bigger deal than what I need too!!!?? And then my doctor tells me no need to panic it's the same drugs they gave Michael Jackson but you will be supervised and also it's like us putting you in a comma!!!!! WTH ????????????????????

I had mine last week and was completely knocked out under general. It went by like a breeze. One minute I was chatting with the nurses in the OR while they prepped me, the next minute (or so it seemed) I was waking up in recovery and feeling great.

I had mine done this morning. I remember being prepped and answering a ton of questions, meeting with the Dr and the anesthesiologist, being rolled into the procedure area, talking to the

Nurses, feeling VERY sleepy and then waking up in the recovery room. I felt NOTHING.. Lol

      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.
