Thank you everyone. Now i have a question is it possible to already have lost 30Lbs ???? I was on a liquid diet a week before the surgery and i weighed myself today and im 30Lbs less. I even had my other family members weigh themselves on the same scale to see if it was right and it is. I just cant believe it.

I'm so glad to hear that it went well! :thumbup: I have been wondering about how you were doing. I know you were really nervous before the surgery. :confused: Now I'm in the same place you were. :scared0: lol... I'm getting the sleeve tomorrow at 10am. I can't believe I'm actually doing it! We'll have to keep in touch and follow each other's progress.

What do they have you drinking now? How do you feel? :crying:

That seems like an awful lot, but if that is what the scale says ...

Absolutely possible. With a starting BMI of 47, you will lose more weight faster than those with a smaller BMI. Congratulations!

It does seem like a lot of weight, but a lot of it could be Water weight as well. A pound is a pound in my book. I had a BMI of 48 starting off, and it took me about 3-4 weeks to lose 30lbs if I remember correctly.

I am so glad you are happy and things went well.

I think this is possible yes. I am sure a lot of it was Water weight but take it! The first several weeks I lost rapidly and made other people get on the scale to make sure it worked. When I came back to work I even got on our freight scale which is certified and it was spot on.

Keep us updated!!!

Congrats! Mine is in 2 days. My scale lied to me . I started at 252 and 5 days later it said 245! Just on preop diet. then 2 days later it was 248! huh? so I am taking the 248 figure as the right one. darn it. I am still determined to make the scale move 2 to 3 lbs a week , after my sleeve. TWO MORE DAYS.

Ok so I have this question. Sometimes I feel like the top of my stomach "expands" I dont know how to describe it, but it kinda feels like heart burn, but at the same time it feels as if something is trying to come up right between my breast bone. I know that is where the opening of the stomach is, but it kinds hurts when it does that. Does anyone else have that? It only lasts for a couple of seconds, but still ... am wondering that that is?:confused:

      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! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.
