Hi! Sounds like you are doing wonderful. :thumbup: My date is getting closer and I'm getting very anxious. Can't sleep at night worrying and thinking about questions. Keep up the good work.:)

Congrats! I was banded the same day. So far I am doing well, too. Had to get some antibiotics for a fever and still have some of the pain - but overall doing well. Bless you!

I had my surgery Sept 11th. I feel that I am doing fairly well but I do have some questions. My left shoulder really hurts and I have been taking the Gas-X strips. I was told that it was from the trapped gas. Any tips? Also, I am not sure if I should be resting so the sutures can heal or if I should be up walking around and not resting. Please help!

Hi, my left shoulder has been hurting to i wasn't quite sure how to handle it. but warm compresses seemed to help. It has now pretty much gone away it hurts every once and awhile. About the walking my Dr. told me to start walking as soon as i can it is also supposed to help with all the gas to get it moving around. Don't over do yourself but do move around. good luck with your Journey.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
