I'm getting banded July 13th..it's actually Friday the 13th and I don't know what to think of that. Trying to be positive and not think too much about it. My dr didn't require me to go on a diet but I'm nervous that I won't know what to do once I'm banded...even though I've been over everything a million times. I just don't want to fail

My surgery date is July 20th. I am excited...but also scared of the 2 week pre-op liquid diet. Also apprehensive about complications.

I'm getting banded July 26. Texas Teacher Insurance (BCBS) requires surgeries at only certain centers. I was assigned one closest to me. The surgeon is at that center once per month.

I was hoping for sooner, but I guess this will do. My insurance is paying 80%, so I'm good with that. No major hoops to jump through. Just BMI is taken into consideration to start the process.

I'm getting banded July 26! I'm so excited but I'm so nervous! My dr. has me on a two week pre-op diet. I can't eat anything that has eyes. I guess Protein Shakes will become my new favorite meal.

Mine is Tuesday the 3rd, less than 48 hours!!! I'm scared but excited as well, more afraid of the pain after then the actual procedure itself. But some folks say its not to bad.

I am so lucky, my friends had a pool party for me yesterday, even though I could not enjoy cocktails with them and stuff from the grill. The overwhemling support they showed me brought tears to my eyes. I am a lucky guy. :P

      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!!

      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! 😞
