So, a wee bit about me. I'm 31, Scottish, but live in Australia now. BMI 35.

I Have my VSG booked in for the 26th of September. I'm not planning on telling any friends or family, and I'm going to Tijuana, Mexico to have it done. If anyone would like to buddy up and have someone to chat about what we're going through, please message me!

Anyone else in a similar position?

I'm scheduled for September 6th, but self pay and my mom is helping me so I'll be nervous until everything is paid. Mine is being done in Austin, TX, but I don't think I'll be telling anyone that doesn't already know. I have a lapband now and wish I hadn't told anyone about it because it makes it really awkward when it doesn't go well. Even then it was only close family. I'm 31 as as well. How long will your flight be to Tijuana?

Hi everyone! I'm also set for surgery on 9/26 in Tampa, Florida. I'm filing through my insurance so I've been working on jumping through all of the hoops since February. Part of me is super excited to get this started and part of me is scared to death. My BMI is 40 so I keep 2nd guessing myself by thinking maybe I should try one more time to do this on my own. Honestly though I've tried probably 100 times. I have PCOS so that makes it much harder.

Completely agree!! Even people who've had complications say they'd do it all over again. That's what keeps me going. :-) I'm looking forward to being healthy and living a better life.

Hi everyone! I'm finished with all pre-op but probably won't get a date until early September. I'm getting nervous and excited! I've been having 2 Protein drinks and one small low carb meal for the past 5 weeks! I'm losing but it's tough! I need to exercise but hate it!

I just got the call this morning 9/26!!!!!! Springfield IL. I'm so excited! The last week has been so hard full of ups and downs trying to get ahold of the surgeon to schedule. Telephone tag is no fun!

Is anyone else on FB? Would anyone be interested in starting a fb group of our "sleeve" class?

      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? 🤷‍♀️
