Congrats! March 8th will come very quickly! Where are you having your surgery at? Do you have to do a pre-op diet?

I'm waiting (impatiently!) to schedule a date, but I'm hoping for early March.

Good Luck!

Melissa

Thanks girls for the support !! I am having my surgery in Monmouth County NJ....DR Boreo. He really seems to prefere by-pass but after our conversation he knew i had made the right decision for me. He seems to lean toward by -pass for those who are in a big hurry and wanting fast results. So I felt very confident with him after our first meeting. I have my date but not the final ok from insurance so i am holding my breath for that one !! So far they have told me not to worry that horizon B/S & B/C are band friendly !! Count down time !!

Good Luck! My daughter and I are having ours done this coming Friday in Monterrey, Mexico. My insurance doesn't cover anything to do with weight loss....it's ALL COSMETIC..yeah right! Anyway, I'm forking out the bucks but hey...if it works as well for us as it has for all the others I've been reading about, it will be MORE than worth it...my dad's inheritance will be well spent :P

Keep us in your thoughts and prayers...will keep you posted on our surgery and progress.

Linda

pre-op....but soooon.... 6 days and counting :rolleyes:

      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!!

        So proud of you Cat. Getting into those smaller size clothes is half the fun isn't it?. Keep up the good work!!!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
