I just went into pre-surgery review today. My doctor's office thinks once I receive insurance approval surgery will be in early to mid-May.

And I hope to be joining you there! By the end of April[emoji414],I hope to know when, can't be too soon for me. My weight loss story started in August 2015, many hairpin turns[emoji420], an attempted derailment by the sons of Seabiscuit the [emoji237] at previous bariatric program, a Center of Excellence no less (gagging sound) but I am now in better program where I should have first gone and my hopes are tree-top high[emoji267]this time! I can and shall succeed and receive the RnY I have been seeking for so long. I am a 72 year old stubborn redhead,[emoji35] and I should not be thwarted, World-[emoji290]- be ye warned!!![emoji95][emoji12]

I think my date will be mid to late May. My last weigh in will be on 5/2 and they said it takes week then the wiorgery is scheduled two weeks after that. Still not 100% sure if I am having VSG or bypass. I have a follow-up visit with my sturgeon on 4/16 to find out - depends on the results of my endocscopy.

SO NERVOUS and EXCITED!! Good luck everyone!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
