I have kicked around having this surgery for years.......I made the decision last March...visited my surgeon.....completed my 6 months monitoring.....got cleared by a cardiologist and psychiatrist....received approval from my insurance company.......was supposed to have surgery in September and due to unforseen costs I had to pay upfront...I had to postone the surgery after I already completed a 2 week liquid diet and lost 11 pounds. Revisited the surgeons office again in Jan...resubmitted the packagage to insurance.....saved up the upfront costs I didn't know about back in September.......completed another 2 week liquid diet...lost another 11 pounds and now tomorrow is the day! Surgery Day! Finally!

I have put my heart, soul, committment, desire, dedication, emotion, and money into having this surgery tomorrow.

I have read, read, read, and then read some more about the highs, the lows, the agonies the defeats.....the success stories and the stuck stories!

I have earned my right to have the surgery!

I am as ready as I will ever be!

Bring it on! :)

      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.

        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?

      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... :(
