Hello. Surgery scheduled FINALLY for July 27th. I must say I was hoping for a sooner surgery date since I got all my requirements such as the nutritionist and psych eval out of the way early on last year sometime and my medically supervised diet ended in April. My surgeon is obviously a very busy man. I'm trying to actually slow my weight loss down because as of now my BMI is 37 and I want to remain eligible for surgery. I started off with a BMI of 48. I do have some concerns though. Number one my surgeon told me we don't have to take Multivitamins or Calcium after surgery , it's not necessary whereas I have read everywhere that it's very important to take Vitamins. Number two they said after surgery, which will be in the morning, we have to sit up and walk around for hours after surgery and we won't be allowed to lay down until about ten that night. That's kind of strenuous isn't it? What do you all think? I'm having the sleeve by the way.

That's great you got your date!! You are on your way!! I never heard about the walking to that extent but walking the next day yes. It moves the gas around so we can get relief. I was told Vitamins daily by my surgeon. I am having the sleeve too.

Ok thanks. I guess my surgeon is a drill sergeant. And I'm still going to take my Vitamins regardless of what he says. His claim is the sleeve doesn't have as many malabsorption issues like bypass so vitamins aren't needed.

      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.
