Baltimore, anyone?



Recommended Posts

Hi there! I will be having sleeve surgery in the fall. I've been very lucky to connect with some wonderful mentors, but I would also love to have some buddies who are in a similar stage of the of the process. I'm in Baltimore, and it would be great to have a local buddy, but you don't have to be.

Thanks! :)

I am in southern Maryland. I'm waiting on insurance approval. It seems to be taking forever.




Hi all I'm in MD right outside of DC. I'm scheduled for a gastric bypass 7/11. I'm about to start my liquid diet. It's getting real now. I can't wait to have a new beginning and healthy me.

I'm in the Baltimore area with a July 11th surgery date. It's been a long process to this point and can't believe it's about to happen. Starting the liquid diet next week...eek!!!

Oh my goodness! It's coming up so soon! Are you having surgery at Hopkins?

I hear you! I am about halfway through the 7 months of weight management that my insurance requires. Today I had an upper endoscopy. I should have everything checked off the list by early September, and then hopefully I will be approved.

I'm also going to be at Bayview. Who was your husband's surgeon (if you don't mind me asking)?

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

      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? 🤷‍♀️
