Hi everyone! For those of you that have had surgery already, I hope all stays well for you. I was wondering what exactly the DR talks about during a pre-op appointment. I have mine on Wednesday and I am just curious as to what to expect!!

hi! my surgery is the 14th, and my preop is also this wednesday...from prior experience with surgery, it's just all tests -- ekg, blood, chest xray, etc.

nothing to worry about.

Just wanted to say hi to everyone. I am also getting banded in December on the 18th. I have my pre-op on Dec. 15. I am on day 6 of my pre-op Atkins diet and I've lost 6 pounds. I have to lose 15 before surgery. Hope all the newly banded are doing well and just wanted to wish everyone good luck.:thumbup:

THANK YOU. I read your post at just the right time... when I was feeling really bad (sick) and seriously questioning my decision. Now I am well, looking forward to the future... motivated and inspired. Thanks again for brightening my day.

      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.
