Sorry for the late response Ellapearl.....I had my pre-op appointment on 9/29 and I also met with my dietician. I started freaking out when I was reading the consent forms about the risk but my surgeon did a great job comforting me. I'm ready....I only have to do the clear liquid diet the day before surgery.

I am getting sleeved on 10/5 (4 days!?!). I have lost 20lbs on the preop diet. I am lucky because my husband is very supportive, and getting sleeved himself a month or so after me.

Hey folks. I was given my surgery date 10/17/2016 last week. Super excited but a bit worry now. Waiting on my final insurance( NYC HEALTHFIRST) approval as well. Just had my medical clearance appointment today and was told my EKG showed an incomplete right bundle branch block and my labs showed low Iron deficiency as well.So I was immediately scheduled to see a cardiologist this Tuesday. It's been a long journey and I know it's just the beginning but I'm really worried that it's a new setback. Please any advice?

Starting weight:225lbs March 2016

Last weightin: 210lbs October 2016

6 month weight in: 15lb lost

      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? 🤷‍♀️
