I am getting my sleeve on 3/29/2017. I just had my labs done yesterday. My PCP is recommending me to get an ultrasound although my bariatric surgeon didn't require it. Everything went well otherwise. I have a little bit of a sinus infection so working on that now. Anyone in the VA area getting sleeved soon?

Not quit like myself but no real pain either, just trapped gas & absolutely no appetite, can't even get half a Protein Shake down, I've been nipping on crushed ice and drinking sips of Water and making sure i walk around.

Just sleeved yesterday, Richmond va

Congrats. Hope you're having a good morning. I am not far from Richmond. Let me know if you need anything, even if it's just a mailed care package. I am just trying to get my house ready and get my shopping done for the post-op.

Yay! That's exciting. What part of VA are you moving to?

      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? 🤷‍♀️
