November 14th here!! I'm in Atlanta. Going to look for the FB group now!

I am also in Atlanta. My date is tentatively November pending insurance approval so I'll wait for the date before I join the group. Which practice are you using? Boy am I getting nervous.

Search for "November 2016 Sleevers" on fb. There's about 80 members in the closed group now. It's a respectful and supportive group

Is it now closed to new members?

I'm at a BMI of 38 now. If I lose 10 more lbs during the liquid pre surgery phase, I'm nervous my ins won't cover the surgery.

"It's crazy how there is no standard for diet preop and how much it varies from surgeon to surgeon. At my clinic you have to lose 10 lbs 12 weeks preop and an additional 10 during the 2 week liquid diet and you have to use the product the clinic has chosen during that 2 weeks. "

I have a friend who had to do that. It's just their way of pushing their product. Just stay positive and know that the pre op diet won't last forever!

They go by your weight and bmi when you started the program do you should be good. I'm a 38bmi now with no comorbities and my surgery got approved last week.

Have asked to join the fb group but says the group closed now? Is there any way I can join please? Thanks

I believe that closed means that someone from the group had to approve your request to join

      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? 🤷‍♀️
