Hey LJM - first of all good luck again - I know in my heart you are going to be great. Also, I saw in another post that you said that you were doing a hernia repair with the Tummy Tuck and that insurance was offsettign some of the TT costs - do you mind telling me how much they are covering? Also, what kind of hernia do you have? My surgeon recommend that I do the same thing and all I could think was $$ I was not mentally prepared to shell out for a tt at this point!

sorry about the OJ - but think... it will be SO worth it.

I have an epigastric hernia - it is right in the middle of my stomach right below my rib cage. Does yours hurt or did you have other symptoms?

I am finding the entire hernia twist confusing and depressing since I was hoping to wait until at least sept/oct for surgery so I could be at goal!

ah well.

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.
