If you have questions for the surgeon I would right them down. By the time you're actually in the consultation you might forget some.

Well with my INS I have to do a 6 mos pre-op diet, so I was very disappointed to hear that, he told I make his job easy because I didn't have high blood pressure etc. The only thing that I have to get is an upper G I to check if I have an hernia. Gave me my paper work to schedule my diet and exercise class, nutrionist and psychologist. So I've trying to get everything schedule NOW because I don't want no last minute surprises when I do get a surgery date. So Good Luck with your dr appt tomorrow and plzs let me know how it goes!!!!!!!!

My appt. went great! I also have to do 6mths preop diet, and a lot of other testing. EKG,Barium swallow, EGD, Chest xray, Blood work, and nutrition and pyshc evals. Lots to do in the next 4 months.

I started my diet in June. Only lost 2 lbs so far.

      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! 😞
