I'm in!

I got my insurance approval in early August, done the investigations and scheduled the procedure on Aug 30. I ended up cancelling the whole thing due to fear and anxiety and constant question in my mind (am I giving up with out seriously trying diet and exercise?).

What actually prompted me to consider sleeving was the constant pain and agony from Sciatica caused by disc protrusions L3-S1. Living on Lyrica, Arcoxia and muscle relaxants

My current weight is 135 Kg (298 lbs) while my maximum was 140 Kg (308 lbs) last year

Although I got some relief back in july when I went to Bali with my wife to Celebrate our 5 year anniversary when I dropped to 127 Kg (280 lbs) and discontinued my meds, but soon I gained back what lost and reach my 2 year average of 135 Kg (298 lbs) and went back my neurologist to restart treatment for the disc proplase ans sciatica

Just 3 days ago I decided I've had enough and rescheduled the surgery to Nov 1st.

Believe me I’m scared got to little girls and that’s what constantly on my mind. But the pros to this surgery are amazing. I think so many people have successfully done it why not me. Everything will be great! Stay positive.

Arcoxia is a Coxib, is IT a near-enough cousin to NSAIDS that you will have to delete it? Or will you be allowed to keep it since you are a Sleeve Candidate? I have an Ulcer 💢caused by excessive NASID usage, so I worry about it for others.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
