I think I have Pcos, my doctors never tested me properly for it because I am obese. 🙄 I too had trouble losing weight pre surgery I remember being on the 2 week liver shrinking diet and I would lose a few pounds then out of now where gain it back and I didn’t change anything. Since surgery I have lost 35 pounds. I had surgery on March 29, 2019. I had the DS and I have lost like 50% of my hair. After my cousin’s wedding this weekend I am shaving it all off.

I had surgery about 7 weeks ago and I am so glad I did. I am already down 35 pounds. I was nervous going into surgery but everything went smoothly. I was sore from being on the metal table and I had some soreness in my abdomen. I had the most pain a few hours after surgery before my nurse finally hooked up the liquid Tylenol and told me where my button for my pain drip was. I only stayed one night in the hospital then went home. I started the preop appointments back in oct and was finished with them in January and it took my insurance 3 weeks to approve it. I had it on March 29th but could have had it sooner but needed to save up the money for the deposit.

I was off for 2 weeks. I wasn’t 100% when I went back but it was doable since I work in an office.

Welcome! This site has been very helpful to me. My advice would be to take advantage of the insurance required diet to help change your habits before surgery. When I was on mine I got discouraged because I would lose then gain some pounds for no reason then I would binge. Keep changing your habits before surgery even if you don’t see results on the scale because after surgery the weight will come off. Good luck! The process goes quicker than you think.

I didn’t really need help after surgery. I did stay with my mom the first 2 weeks after but I didn’t need her help with anything. When I went back home my husband took over walking the dog since he pulls on the leash and I was still sore and weak.

I had saw a surgeon a few years back when I had Cigna as my insurance and he seemed nice enough but also made me seem like just another patient for him. He was the first one to suggest going with the DS which I appreciate. I went to a seminar for the program I ended up going with and the surgeon I went with was the one to run it. Just from that seminar alone I knew I wanted him to be my surgeon. He made everyone feel comfortable and went through each surgery in detail. I am very glad I went with him and the DS.

I watched a ton of weight loss surgery videos on YouTube and got a lot of my information from them. When it came time to see the surgeon I didn’t really have any questions for him. I do, however, wish I asked more questions about the post op diet as far as calories and Protein since they don’t stress on protein goals until you are eating solid food. My best advice is to relax and take advantage of the required supervised diet. I only took advantage of it at the end. I wish I also took my measurements before surgery as the only ones I have are not at my highest. Take before pictures and progress pics. Your surgery will be here before you know it.

We had a taco potluck today at work! I had some shredded chicken, turkey grounds, refried Beans, cheese and some hot sauce. No after pic since I ate it all.

My Breakfast today:
1 egg over easy
1 Trader Joe’s breakfast sausage link
some cheese
1 low carb tortilla

I didn’t really like the tortilla so I ended up eating only 1/4 of it but ate everything else.

I decided to get the surgery because at just 28 I was almost 400 pounds and walking was becoming a problem. I didn’t want to lose my mobility. I didn’t really have any major health problems but I didn’t want to wait until I developed them.

Since I got up this is my “breakfast” shrimp cooked in a little butter and Italian dressing.
