Well, I'm having the sleeve done on May 1! I was originally scheduled in November 2016 but had to cancel last minute due to complications from diabetes. Hey, so I'm in a Facebook group for November 2016 sleevers and just stayed in it to see how everyone was progressing. Might be nice if we made a May 2017 Sleevers group on Facebook? I didn't see any when I searched so far. Just a thought.


That's a great suggestion Nicoteolis. Would you want to create a group? I would love to join.

Saw the pulmonologist yesterday and he gave my clearance. I have a mild form of sleep apnea that he is sure will go away once I lose some weight. I have my pre surgical testing scheduled for Monday morning which I see going smoothly and getting the thumbs up there as well. My final clearance is with my PCP which is scheduled for the 19th and I see that going well too. Then the fun 2 week liquid diet would begin on 4/25. Getting so close and super excited!

How are you doing with your diabetes now?

My surgeons office just called me and said that my potassium level came high in my blood work and if it stays high they will need to postpone my surgery. I have never been diagnosed with high potassium levels and they want me to go to my primary and recheck my levels. Anyone else went through this?

I have been reading but really nothing you can do. I am going for a retest tomorrow at my endo's office. I am hoping it was just a mistake.

Thank you! Pray for me, surgery aside having high potassium levels can be life threatening [emoji19].

Let's hope you and I go in together. I am going back for my blood work today to retest for potassium. Wish me luck.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?
