Had my consult today and surgery scheduled for December!



Recommended Posts

I can't believe it happened so fast! I just need a psych eval and a blood test and I will fulfill everything I need to have done before surgery. I'm scheduled for December 13th - leaving me time to heal before the holidays - but, unfortunately or perhaps fortunately, down to liquids only for Christmas. It will all be worth it!

Congrats! It is definitely worth it! My surgery was on August 4th and I've already lost 45 pounds. I doubt you will even care about food that soon after your surgery. :)

Yes, this is what I have gathered will happen too. I'm committed and am beyond ready to feel healthy again.

That's great! Praying for much success and blessings for your upcoming surgery. :)

I am having my surgery December 23! So I will probably not even be eating at Christmas! We'll just have to keep our eyes on the prizes and remember... Christmas will be here again in a year!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
