Hi Harley, Baton Rouge here, but anticipating surgery soon with Dr Richardson at Ochsner. Who is your doc and where are you at in this journey if you dont mind me asking. Sent from my SM-N920V using the BariatricPal App

-Being able to fit in a booth without having to "suck it in". -crossing my legs. -being able to shave my legs without pulling a muscle. -sleeping without my c-pap. -getting off BP meds. -taking a shower without getting out of breath. -being able to take a nice hot bath and ALL my body parts are under water! -not thinking about food constantly. -making love with my husband without feeling ashamed of my body. Are just a few.......???? Sent from my SM-N920V using the BariatricPal App

I am waiting to be cleared by NUT, then my doctor will set a date. I'm having a VBG to RnY revision. My doctor says it is going to be an open, no "if's, and's or but's". Anyone else have this revision or an open procedure? If so, what was your down time (Im a nurse and need to get back to work as soon as possible)? I would appreciate hearing yall's stories. My VBG was over 20 + years ago, and like childbirth, I have forgotten all the pain etc. Then again, it may be just that old age thing. ???? 55yo 5'5.5" Heaviest weight 320 lbs Currently down 22 lbs in 1 mo pre op supervised diet.

Congrats!!!! I look forward to that. I still have 1 month supervised diet. Seems like it's taking forever! Sent from my SM-N920V using the BariatricPal App

Yay! Keep up the great work!!! Sent from my SM-N920V using the BariatricPal App

So sorry to hear about your son. I will be praying for him. Sent from my SM-N920V using the BariatricPal App

All I have left is the EGD and 2nd Nutritionist appt. Hopefully I will get a surgery date soon. My insurance only requires 2 week pre op liquid diet. Kind of nervous as this is a revision from a gastroplasty from back in the early 90s.
