When I scheduled my surgery back in May, they said I was first on the schedule. I thought they told me I was first on the schedule, but I may be mistaken. I was told that when I get there they will check me right into the hospital. So, I guess that’s a good thing. I’m going alone as well. My husband feels reassured that I will have a cohort to be with in the hospital.

Don’t know about you, but I’m beyond excited right now. I have packed and repacked several times. The weather is supposed to be in the high 70’s low 80’s all week while we are there.

I’m really glad we will be there together.

October 1 here. Getting scared...liquid diet is getting old.........Surgeon chastised me for only losing 19 lbs since April...what??! He said someone of your size should have lost more and is accusing me of cheating. grr.. I'm part of a whole fancy program at a local hospital and they are strict......I'm afraid of blood clots now....., and just 2nd guessing everything. Found out I will have 6 incisions....as opposed to 5..not sure why that's bugging me but it is lol. I think I'm just a nervous nelly....not packing much...iphone and chargers, and my flip flops. figure i'll wear their gowns.... my cough has now subsided and barely there but dr did say he would cancel the surgery if I had a cough....i even went to a fancy Vitamin lounge yesterday and paid for a high dose of Vitamin C. Sorry..just all over the place. I go from being excited and elated to doom and gloom.

I second guess myself every day. I have 29 looooong days to go. You’ll do amazing! Don’t let any negativity sink in (not even doctor comments). 🤗 you got this!

Oh, that makes sense. I booked later than you did and they told me to fly in the same day.
Safe travels, see you soon!

Thank you. I am doing great l only have a little gas up in my shoulders. The surgeon gave me a pain ball so I did not have any pain from the stomach surgery. It comes out tomorrow.

I hope everyone is doing good.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
