Well this is exciting and nerve racking at the same time. I am anxious to have it over with already. I know that my life will change and I have read a lot of people's experiences on here but I can't really get a handle on it. People describe how it feels, what they do, how they and friends and family react to the whole journey. But, I will not understand until I walk through it. I am so ready to have my blood pressure meds reduced or eliminated. I am so ready to be able to bend over without meeting my stomach in the middle. I wonder if I will ever be able to walk 30 minutes all at one time without getting tired and winded. I am afraid of diving into a pool head first from a high board, but I taught swimming and demonstrated it a few times. I feel like I am on the high dive and I know that I will be diving into my new life tomorrow.

This is SO exciting! Congrats! I seriously hope that everything goes smoothly for you. My surgery was at 9:30 am also :) Anyway, I definitely agree that you'll never know how someone else feels until you try it for yourself. I've read so many forums on here, but I never truly knew. I'm currently 1 week post-op and still thrilled that I did this. Dive, baby, dive!!

My surgery is tomorrow at 10:30. I am so excited I can hardly stand it! I am so ready and so tired of not being able to find really cute clothes and keep up with my husband and step son at Fiesta Texas and wonder if I will fit in a ride! ONWARD!!!

      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! 😞
