just home. surgery went well, first for this dr. and for this surgical center. Very awsome. I was only patient all day and night. first rate care. not much pain, just gas. cant have anything chewable and I bought gas x chew tabs. hubby at store looking for liquid and getting rx filled. liquid lortab. Did lortab keep anyone else awake?

Other than gas feel good. first time ever felt swallowing and into stomach. wierd feeling.

liquids for another week, and then appt. on Tues to see if loving to thicker liquids.

Good luck upcoming bandsters. hope your banding happens as well as mine. Thanks for all the advice.

Take me off the May list. Had to cancel d/t ins problems We are summiting for preauthorization First the said we did not have to. Today I was Informed we Dh and myself did not meet the criteria for just covering it. When they say 12 consecutive months they mean the past 12 months. from today backward. With documented proof weighing in at the Dr office on a diet don't count if you were not on a RX for weight loss for the last 12 months. Same with WWetc. what you did in 2001 or 2002 don't count. Soooooo. They said summit it again for peauthorization suggested trying an RX in the mean time. Will take 2-4 months, to get a decision

Yipee - I'm scheduled for May 26th. Of course I just had my initial consult. Now I have to meet with the dietician and my pcp on Friday. Get an EKG, meet with surgeon and get psych eval on Monday. Oops, then remember to go to Ecuador for vacation on Tuesday. And I'm out of town right now.

I love a busy life. And busy I will be when my feet don't kill me anymore, clothes are more comfortable....

      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? 🤷‍♀️
