For me, it was a bunch of measurements and a discussion with the doctor to see if this might work for me. I had to fill out a medical questionaire in advance--you might have to on the day of--so they could see if I had medical conditions that would either qualify or disqualify me. There wasn't anything to be nervous about. Just be honest. If you're not, they can't determine if the surgery will be right for you or if there are other pieces you have to work on before you have it. Everyone has different insurance and requirements. Once of the things you can do if you're really nervous is call your insurance company and see what THEIR requirements will be so you can make sure you discuss them with your doctor. If you cover those bases, it will be easier for them to help you get qualified for the insurance. I'm 2 months post surgery, down 30.5 pounds, feeling great and for the first time in 4+ years not nervous about sitting in the airplane seat I have to sit in on Sunday for a flight to LA. Channel the nerves, if you can, to excitement! Good luck!

GOODNESS GRACIOUS! 9 PAGES. I feel yer pain! I'll say a little prayer for you. Might not hurt if you do the same. YOU will be fine. They make money helping folk out, not sending them home. Youve just got tot shake it off. Take some good brisk walks. Do a food menu,or diet for a week or two and even pre-pack as you can to take yer mind off of it. Do ANYTHING to get your mind off of it.Keep posting here to for reassurance! Hang tough. You will need to be strong for all to come! Good Luck! Sincerely, Sandy

PS. A little note to Ms Chicago. Great job! Keep up the fine work, and feeling good about yourself! Sandy

      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! 😞
