Yes, I am having VSG on 4/2. Starting to get very nervous. i had dinner with friends last night who did not know about my surgery plans. They we’re not very supportive. One is a nurse and was really troubled by my decision. I was up most of the night worrying.

HI there....I am VSG on the 2nd too. dinner with friends? I wish....LOL...I have been on my pre-op diet for two weeks and one more to go! You are brave to tell friends - good for you. I have told my hubby (Obviously lol) and a friend who has also had surgery! BTW I am a Nurse, with many years experience, and did NOT come to this decision lightly (I was ALWAYS AGAINST WLS), so don't worry about your friend. Nurse or not, she likely doesn't understand.

Yes, it has been a long path for me as well. I am ready also. My surgeon called on Friday saying there was a cancellation for this Tuesday if I wanted to take it.that threw me for a loop, I am sticking with orginal date since I had all my family obligations scheduled around that.

Do not worry too much about your friend you made the decision based on your health. I feel as long as you have information you need to succeed then it’s no one else’s business.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
