Vancouverites - thanks - getting banded this week.



Recommended Posts

Thanks to all those that I've met online, on the phone, or at the N. Van support groups. You made this a positive experience.

Off to TJ on Wednesday and banded on Thursday. I, coincidentally, will be there with three Albertans.

Back from Mexico. All went well and as expected.

Enjoying the 21 day liquid post-op diet. Actually not too bad. Miso Soup and popsicles and tea are getting my through the day. Not to bad as I am not hungry.

Incisions are healing very well. Other than a few burps of gas and some rumblings of the stomach, it is situation normal.

Hi Scott. Glad it went well. How much did you pay for Mexico? Where will you get fills done?

$7,950 plus $500 in airfare. It was all top-notch. Even got some dental work done there too.

I was planning to use Northwest Fills in Washington State. But I think I'll return for TJ for fills - certainly the first fill at least.

Scott.

Glad to hear it went well. I left before you got back from the clinic. We spent a day in San Diego, saw Old Town and the Beach, went to the tall ship festival and flew home. When are you planning on a fill?

      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? 🤷‍♀️
