Hi

I live in Uvalde. I had my surgery in S.A. with Dr. Pilcher with New Dimensions/Health for Life Center on Jan. 15th. I am 6 wks. post-op. Your going to do great! Can't believe how well it has gone already. I have had 2 fills, not painful at all, just a little soreness for a day or so. I just started on solid food this week. My Dr. is strict on full liquids, or as he says if it will go thru a straw. I got hungrier by the end. But also lost weight really well. So good luck! Let me know if you have any questions.

Hello,

Good luck! I'm starting the process and look forward to hearing from this forum all about what to look forward to. I'm an RN in Florida. Can't wait to get started!

Hey, Ya'll from Dallas! I was banded in Sept '07 and I can tell you that this is the best thing I could have ever done for myself. This path has not really been that difficult for me...grateful! I will say the hardest part is chewing 50 million times and eating s...l...o...w...l...y. It remains a struggle. Sometimes, I create trouble for myself by eating too quickly. I just want to say that you will do well if you use your tool properly. Stay on this board for support.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
