They have not giben me a surgery date. I meet with the nutritionist team on wednesday. With my insurance, I have to do a 3 month multi program before approved. These days I swear im getting more and more addicted to the site with the wealth of information it has. I have honestly been struggling to get into the gym and also making sure the band is the step I want to take. I have never had any type of surgery done so its nerve wrecking to me! How have you been? Do you have a surgery date yet or have ypu been banded?

I was banded June 11. I asked my surgeon to send me home same day. I came through everything good. Not ever surgeon does the surgery the same way. My surgeon took part of my stomach below my band and sewed it above my band to keep it from slipping. Another folds the bottom of the stomach in sews it together plus sew part of the bottom above the band. Check with the surgeon you choose.

      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! 😞
