Hi all. I have been thinking about this surgery for at least 3 years but couldn't find a surgeon to do it because my BMI was 31. Now my BMI is 32.9 and the FDA has lowered the BMI, I finally have a sugary date of 11/17/11. I started the process on 10/27/11, I am self pay, which means I avoided some of the red tape. Start my liquid diet tomorrow.

Me too. Are you starting to feel a little nervous or are you still in shock? I'm in a little shock and I just keep trying to mentally skip over what the actual surgery day will be like. I have pulled up some blogs that had surgery pictures and it freaked me out a lot!

Banded on the 8th - sore, swollen and tired - sleeping on and off since Tuesday afternoon. But Happy too. Have to force myself to take in my Water and Protein - have no desire for it except for the knowledge that it is crucial for recovery. Fabulous doctors and hospital staff - can't say enough wonderful things about them. Glad I was there overnight. More later . . . .

      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! 😞
