Hi!

I'm new here. Pre Op waiting for approval from BCBS.

Anybody from the Metro Detroit area? I need some buddies who get what is about to happen to my life.

I have tried to explain and well the people who I thought were supportive have basically pooped out on me.

And my so called best friend!!! HAAAA!!! Forget it. Shes about as helpful as the KING SIZED Almond Joy calling my name that I have stashed in my desk here at work aahah! She would be the type of friend to take me to a buffet for dinner 2 weeks post op or some crap like that.

So yeah i need some locals if possible men and women..dont be shy!

XOXOX

I live in Detroit, right downtown. I am having my surgery april 30th at harper. Where are you having yours? I am very new to all this to so we are in the same boat. Mine has been sinking for years, so I'm glad I finally found a life jacket. You are not alone out there, it is very scary.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
