I'm the one with the Elton John Billy Joel tickets. I think I would have been ok . But I'm glad they postponed it so I can heal a little longer.

Val, maybe they ought to give you one of those swallow tests.. Usually you feel that way (so tight) right after a fill.. after your loosing all that weight, I'd hate to get unfilled and start over..let us know what happens at the appointment today.

Bugs, what time were u there today, my appt got moved up, and i was there at 11:30.............I got .2cc fill, I'll see how that does cause right now i'm just too loose. I gained a pound and it would have been more if it weren't for sheer willpower.

val, how did you make out today, I told dr. H. to say hello for me since i wouldn't be there like I thought at 1:00.. I got unfilled several weeks ago, and I gained 20 lbs, so i hope they didn't deflate u..keep us posted..........vicki

      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? 🤷‍♀️
