Hi all

. This is my first post on this site and hopefully not my last. My Bariatric sleeve Surgery is Wednesday so I'm a little anxious but not yet nervous. I'm considering it the first day of my transformation. I started at 281 lost 21 lbs on my program so far. Looking forward to a successful transition. The only thing that scares me is the hernia surgery.

Has anyone had any problems with it after surgery? If so how have u handled it?

Way to go on the weight loss so far. I had my surgery on December 13th and am doing well. I didn't know I had a hernia until after my surgery when the surgeon told he had repaired it. I have had no problems other than some incisional pain,but not enough to take pain meds since I've been home from the hospital. Just do everything they tell you to do and you will be fine!

I'm going in Wednesday as well...I didn't really start getting anxious until a few days ago and now I can't stay off this app bc I'm trying to get an idea of what to expect..I've been freaking out about getting everything ready for Christmas done before Wednesday, getting the house clean, wondering what I'm gonna eat when I get home from the hospital...they need to put patients on nerve pills at least 3 days before surgery...lol

I'm Wednesday too. Also nervous and obsessively reading the boards. I could have written your post! I have three kids and scared I'm going to be too tired/sick to enjoy Christmas. Also of course worried about something going wrong with surgery or post-op. I could use some of those sedatives right about now!

I will be sleeved on Tuesday and I could have written Mimiof3's post as well. I have an adult child and a pre-teen child. I'm freaking out about getting things ready for Christmas, wrapping things and hoping everything goes well. I haven't been sleeping because I'm so anxious but I know all will work out. I just need to put it all in God's hands. I could definitely use some of the nerve pills...at least it would be something solid in my tummy! LOL Good luck to all of us and let's all meet up on the losers bench and have a laugh about our pre-op anxiousness!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
