Hi everyone EDG went well. No problems. No BSBC does not require but they ordered me one because of my bad heartburn and acid reflux that I have. So I have a hostel hernia which the surgeon will repair while he us doing the band.

That's so good to hear. I think I have been having heartburn lately. I just started getting it. Are those signs or is it if u have always had heartburn. It just came when I started eating back and gaining more weight. So happy it went well. I knew it would. How's the pre op diet going ? Any loss?

Yes, heartburn is a sign. Not just your regular every day heart burn either. With in the last 5 years its been horrible. Some night I can't sleep cause it feels like its coming thorough my throat. I'm just glad I know so they can know and the doctor won't have a surprise waiting on him.

Hi, I'm a newbi. Just getting final tests then paperwork may be submitted to insurance for approval. Already been pre-approved, so it's just paperwork. Expect to have the band in August or so.

Do folks meet in person or just online? Would like to find a local group of others to hang out with from time to time so that I don't fall back into bad eating habits with current friends.

The hospital call me yesterday to pre register me. Woohoo and today I officially start the 2 week preop diet. I started early though and lost a few to keep the stress off. This to me I think is going to be the real challenge. Lol

      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... :(
