I had my surgery on Friday the 13th. The first night was tough finding the right meds to manage the pain and I also had a Migraine. I was also nauseous and vomited a lot. It was a rough night.

The next morning my doctor adjusted the meds and I have been doing well ever since.

I came home from the hospital yesterday. And I am doing well with the normal aches and pains.

Good luck to everyone.

Hey ladies - I’ve been absent a few days and way behind. My dad’s health has deteriorated and he’s been put in hospice. Just spending all the time I can with him and supporting my mom.

I’ll try and check in as I can.

Hey all ... had surgery on Tuesday to remove my band and possibly convert to sleeve. My scar tissue was way too much to do the sleeve and they had a lot of trouble getting the port part of the band to budge out. Post op pain has been horrible. Considering how much they had to manipulate the larger incision to get the port out, I’m suffering more than the usual patient. Not sure I still want to go through with the sleeve and have a fourth surgery. I am healing and recovering though and the freedom of no pain or acid reflux from the band has been great though!

Paperwork is officially submitted for insurance approval. Fingers crossed and if anyone has any extra patience to get me through the waiting, send it my way!

So tomorrow is the day.

😬😬😬

Just got my arrival time of 9:30am. Totally overcome with nerves. Wondering what the hell I am putting myself through. But I’ve got so much time and effort invested in this. I’m sure these are just pre-surgery jitters.

My stuff is all submitted and now waiting for insurance approval from BCBS Fed. Any ideas on timeline with this insurance? I’ve heard 2 days to 30 days...

      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? 🤷‍♀️
