Hi!

I'm heading to the hospital right now. A little nervous and hoping my doctor can do the lap-band removal and sleeve at the same time!

I'll keep you posted!

I made it! Had a rough day yesterday but I feel much better today. Doctor was able to remove the band get me sleeeved all at once! The hospital was fantastic, I was just uncomfortable with the gas and the port incision, but other than that I'm good! Thank you for your best wishes!

Thank you! I'm doing great and enjoying life so far. I lost 16 pounds the first week but now I'm in a stall and my body refuses to loose weight, sigh. I know I need to start eating more and getting more Protein but is been kinda hard eating for me. I'm really comfortable drinking shakes, but I'm in the soft food stage now and I have no appetite at all. I hope my body reacts and I can star loosing again. I guess I need more calories in because right now I'm probably at 300-400 a day.

My advice would be: things will get better! First days are really uncomfortable and the incision where the port was still bother me. Walk walk walk! To get the gas out and drink lots of fluids the first week!

As a comparison with the lap-band, the sleeve is the real deal! You will feel no hunger and BIG restriction after a couple of bites. I wish I had this done in the first place and I have no regrets with the sleeve! I do have tons of ideas for the liquid diet and the soft food diet so let me know and I can share some with you! You will do great!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
