I got the call today, I was APPROVED! after all these months, after doing one thing after the other, after hanging in there without losing hope, my surgery date is going to be on Wednesday, January 12th! I am excited and scared, it's like reality finally hit me. I was rushing through the seminar and surgeon visits, then the 3 months diet, then all the exams, getting everything ready for Tricare, getting the clearance from my PCP, then the paperwork sent to insurance (2 nerve wrecking days!) then the call... Now it's just 5days on a liquid diet and I'm done. I'm getting banded... I really don't know if I should laugh or cry, I definitely feel like doing both!:lol:

      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! 😞
