Mommy, I am also a "lightweight" and can't keep the extensive regimen up that it takes for me to stay in a healthy weight, when are you planning to go for surgery? I am scheduled May 10th. My Mom is going with me, if you are there at te same time you are more than welcome to "hang" with us!

Wow! That would be great! I'm trying to confirm for May 11th.

Did you have any difficulties having Dr. Aceves approve you?

Send me a private email and I'll let you know what happens..

I'm between 30 and 31, but if I wait it will surely increase. Heck, I could get to 32 or 33 by the surgery without much effort at all! I'm just a vistor at any particular weight--never stable. I was 40 pounds lighter in September after completing a medical fast. I'm so sick of this insanity in my life!

I hope to hear by tonight or tomorrow. Other than being a chronic yoyo dieter, I'm very healthy. I'd love to have a sleeve buddy in Mexicali. I hope I hear soon--I feel very comfortable with Dr. Aceves. When I find out, I'll send you a private email and let you know the particulars.

I am the same way, was about 40 pounds lighter in October and I too am tired of this up and down. I am healthy otherwise. I do have asthma but only have issues when I gain weight. Yes, please send me a message and let me know! I am gonna jump on chat right now, be fun to talk to you there! You are in CA, at least you won't have to go cross country!

I am approved and scheduled and I am sooo excited. Dr. Aceves on May 11th.

No pre op diet because I am just this side of obese.

It is my greatest hope that I will find weight stability and not have to have this burden any longer.

Dr. Aceves' patients also have a Yahoo group site which has a lot of information. I can't believe how universally loved he seems to be. I wish it were happening tomorrow.

Dr-Aceves-bandsters : Dr-Aceves-bandsters

^^^^^^ click on that.

It says bandsters but there are more sleeve people on this group. Dr. Aceves doesn't even like to do bands anymore. You have to sign in with a yahoo sign in name. If you have a yahoo email address, that is your sign in name.

sorry, I tried to cut and paste the link. It's a Yahoo-Health group entitled Dr. Aceves-Bandsters. Hope this helps.

      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! 😞
