For those who used Dr A - I'm totally at the beginning of this process. What kind of diet did you have to do? 3 month or 6 month?

My understanding is that your diet requirements will be dictated by your insurance. My insurance requires a 6 month supervised diet; I'd completed that last year, so Dr. A didn't required me to do more.

That was my experience too. Dr. A didn't have a specific requirement (that I know of). My insurance required six months.

My insurance didn't require any weight loss before surgery. Dr. A. did advise that a few pounds be lost before surgery to help shrink the liver, for a better process during the surgery.

      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! 😞
