Coming to you from Toronto Canada, we don't have coverage for this up here, so investing $16,000 on ME! I am booked for April 4th. Just finishing 3rd day of preop which for me is 3 Protein Shakes per day for a total of 750 cals. Can also have up to 250 cals of select green veggies, but so far I have stuck to celery. Can't wait to be referred to as "skinny" LoL

Wow Some how I was lucky enought to have my insurance pay the whole thing. The only thing is I have to go 7 hours to and from the surgery the same day but they are driving me there and back. I just don't want to be in a lot of pain for the trip home. Good luck to you!

Hi moonlited. I'm getting my band in April...the 12 to be exact. I also live in the bay area of California but I am going to Mexico to get mine.

My mom had hers done in Mexico...great doctor, great service, beautiful facility etc...everything was going good til it slipped. Then US doctors refused to work on it. Different band they put in and liability reasons. HAD to have it removed as she was sooo sick! In hospital etc...took it out, it was stamped "sample not for use."

Not telling you not to get banded, I will be banded in April...just know the Mexican one can save a couple $ but long term it can be devastating.

      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! 😞
