I just got the date--it is June 6th at 6pm. The plan is to have a support group picnic. People can pretty much bring what they want--those of us at the last meeting signed up to bring things specifically but anyone can come and eat. It probably will be less formal (not that we are usually THAT formal anyway). I'll be happy to connect you with the coordinator if you'd like to ask her any questions ahead of time :)

Wow, I didn't realize there would be stitches to take out. Glad you are feeling better. Do you feel the surgery was pretty easy?

I have a few stitches over my port site and each lap site has a stitch, nothing major. Surgery went well. The first few days at home were rough. I'm a single mom and had to keep active after my kids but all in all it wasn't bad. Not eating has been the hardest part! It'll all be worth it tho! I'll be happy and healthier for my babes!

Glad to hear you are doing well. That is rough to not have any help at home afterwards :huh:

Glad things are looking up and you are recovering well. I hope to be shortly behind you. My paperwork was submitted to insurance this past Wed. They said we should hear something in two weeks.

Did you ever get super nervous before.....like if this was the right decision or not? I have faced that here and there and going through it again BLAH!!!

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      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!!
