I've read about ppl having their sleeve and gallbladder out the same time as well. Def worth asking about. Sent from my VS880PP using the BariatricPal App

​My stress test came back abnormal too. I won't ask your age (I'm 44), but my cardiologist said he was sure it was something to do with that. but since he couldn't be 100% sure, he scheduled me for a heart cath. It came back great! No blockages. Sometimes the stress tests can give a false positive.. so I recommend letting the cardiologist do further testing just to make sure. Good Luck!!

Yes, I agree. Your best bet would be to contact an endocrinologist. I've been diagnosed with PCOS for about 10 years. When first diagnosed, I only had a couple of the symptoms that pcos involves. But he told me, that just because all of the symptoms doesn't show, doesn't mean that I didn't have it. So I would see one of those Congrats on your weightloss!!

soo excited for u... my sleeve is 12 days away! Wishing you the best!

I'm about 7 days in and noticing the changes as well. They recommended a stool softener to us. I too am seeking one in the am! I have 12 more days til surgery... uggh.. i'm sure its going to be fun!! Good Luck on your upcoming surgery!!

Just saw Dr wheeler. My surgery is on the books for October 11th! Counting down the days!! Sent from my VS880PP using the BariatricPal App

I was reading this and seeing that everyone is on the pre-op diet. I am as well, but i'm allowed 2 Protein shakes and a sensible meal... not all liquid... 2 days before surgery I am on total liquids only. while I know some meals aren't as sensible as others, the subway meal could have been a lot worse... could have been a whopper and fries... Just keep going and get back on track! You got this! Good luck on your upcoming surgery and continued success!!

I have never been able to do Jello. The texture to me is... *shivers* ughhh. How weird it is to think that one day this may be a Godsend to me! loll

I have trouble sleeping now....sleeve is a week out...I was hoping for maybe a change in sleep patterns for me but according to the replies looks like that's a big no Loll Sent from my VS880PP using the BariatricPal App

Lol! Awesome. I'm in although my sleeve is a week away I'm always in the mood for a laugh. Most of the times my laughing is at myself..smh..but if we can't laugh at ourselves what fun is it? Have a great day everyone. Ps...the dog's look is priceless! That how my sissy dog looks at me when I'm paparazzing her XD!

I feel you on the hungry....it's not playing...but it's only a temporary issue that we have to go thru. Good luck on your surgery!! Sent from my VS880PP using the BariatricPal App

Don't be so hard. 6 days out you have time to get back on track and finish the preop diet strong. We all mess up and make mistakes. The only thing we can do is acknowledge it and move on! Congrats on your upcoming surgery Sent from my VS880PP using the BariatricPal App

I agree....you all are doing amazing!! Everyone loses at different rates...it's not all about the numbers but in how you feel. Weight loss is weight loss and any weight loss is good!! Keep up the awesome work! Sent from my VS880PP using the BariatricPal App

I would assume that you are cathered while during surgery....for most major surgeries you are, but they usually remove it long before you wake up. But I'm not positive about this. Sent from my VS880PP using the BariatricPal App

I use the premade premier shakes and I make my own as well. Pinterest is awesome for Protein shake recipes. You just have to kinda watch the sugars in them. Good Luck!
