So am I!!!!! My surgery date was orginally set for july 28, but I am going to have to push it to Aug. I am in NJ. I am feeling overwhelmed with all the appointments needed before surgery. I know in the end its well worth it, but Jeez!!!! Its not easy working full time and having two kids. I was wondering if you ere feeling the same way?

It is overwhelming with all the appointments. I do think it will be worth the trouble to lose this weight that has been hanging around for way too long! Good luck to you

I am from Allentown! Who's your surgeon??? I don't have a date yet...I meet with my surgeon next Thursday, so I'm hoping to get a tentative date then. I'm hoping for mid-July-early August for my surgery so I have enough time to recover before school starts back up!

Hi, I am from Stroudsburg, hopefully getting banded in August by Dr. Boorse at Lehigh Valley Hospital. I have begun my journey and have committed myself to the process. The hardest part for me is going to be quitting smoking but I have the patch and a date set and I am gonna do it. If you want to chat email: peptalk1@aol.com.

Good luck

My surgeon is Dr. Boorse. I am hoping to have surgery in August because I am a teacher. I may have some problems getting insurance approval because my BMI in 2009 was only 34.5 and I have only been diabetic for about 1 year with a BMI of 36.7 now. Good luck to you too!

I will say a prayer for you tonight and tomorrow. As far as the surgery that was o.k. it was the anthesia (spelling) that made me so sick. Blessings

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      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! 😞
