Recommended Posts

okay so i went and did the consult with the surgeon on memorial day, and today i got the phone call saying that yes on june 27th they would approve me for surgery:thumbup: Now im kinda freakin out, we are military and stationed in Schweinfurt Germany. Ive been following close everyones experience at the hospital but i worry about the day for me because of the language barrier and different culture. Im kinda freakin out cause wholly cow what if something goes wrong you know. the hospital is 2 hours away in frankfurt germany and I just can't get their quick. On top of this i have to go on the the 26th and to have the tests done. upper gi, ekg, etc and stay the night because of the distance and have the surgery on the 27th then get released on the 28th and my husband cannot stay with me. German hospital policy, so he will drop me off on thursday and pick me up on saturday:crying: Whlly cow im seriously havintg a panic attack. We also have a lil boy and he needs to be able to stay home and take care of him. geesh okay sorry guys im done ranting now, i will take deep calming breaths and center my chi now:biggrin2:

CONGRATS HUN!!!

i wish you all the best with your surgery, if you are worried about the language barrier couldnt you talk to the hospital to get some reassurance. Ive been over the germany before and i must say they speak better english than what i do (and i live in england)!! lol

      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.
