Thank you everybody! There is a support group meeting once a month in UC irvine.

I finally found a doctor here in Orange County, Dr. Quebbemann in Newport Beach from the N.E.W. program and they also have a support group every other Tuesday. He is going to do my surgery on May 6th. He started quoting me 18k but I was able to talk him down to 14K. I thought on going to Mexico but my husband insisted to do it close to home. I wish you all the best and I'm look forward to stay in touch. I'm a little stressed out and I may be looking for support from all of you. To imagine.dream.inspire: where in Southern Ca are you?

Nigella, let's be friends and maybe we can meet at a support group. I have a few friends in Dana Point, I spend most of my life in Laguna Beach where I went to school and work sometimes. When did you have your surgery and do you have any regrets? Thank you

Thank you. Please let me know how hard your first two weeks after surgery have been! I'm not that confident that I'm going to survive all this stress.

Still finding my way around this forum. I live in Calimesa...45 miles west of Palm Springs, about 70 miles east of Los Angeles just off of I-10. Surgery in five days. Had the final pre-op tests this morning. I am excited and of course a little nervous. I am self pay, and this is my 70th Birthday gift to myself, surgery is 9 days before my birthday. I am beginning a new chapter in my life. :thumbup:

It is a very good thing!!

:party4:Enjoying the happy dance for the new me.

      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! 😞
