Hi Everyone My name is Graeme. I'm getting my sleeve done on the 13th of next month with Dr Yorke, who works with Sampath and Ngyuen in Richmond area. My scope is on the 4th. I'm very nervous and afraid, but excited at the same time. My fear though is of the actual surgery itself. I've never had surgery or even an IV before. I've had people tell me i wont remember it and ill be fine but to say that to someone who's never gone through something at all like this doenst seem to help. Then i found this support group and i thought maybe i could talk to people here. Its not like i have no one thats gone through it in my own life. In fact my dad did. He lost over 150 lbs and has kept it off for 3 years now. He's part of the reason im doing it, the other reason is my wife and for me. Anyways just just a little about me. Its nice to meet you all.
Have a great day!

Good luck to you, your date is next week
Wishing you a speedy recovery!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
