Newbie. Scheduled 4 June 15 anyone else?



Recommended Posts

Hi everybody. I am 35 and overweight (obviously). I am super excited about the new chapter I am about to begin. I am scheduled with Dr. ALmanza. I would love to hear from anyone who has went recently. I know he has been on vacation but any recent stories would be great!!

I am planning on doing Atkins for 2 weeks prior to surgery to make sure my liver is out of the way:001_tongue:

I have done it b4 very successfully but not long term so I feel good about that.

I cant wait to move my ticker down! I have struggled with it for years!

I am an RN in local ER, mother and wife. I love college football and cruises! Now I feel like im on a singles site:)

Anyway thanks for reading, hope to make many new friends!!!

Hi there and welcome!!! You will be sure to find lots of support here in these forums! I don't have a surgery date yet but it will be sometime in early June I think so I will let you know and we can be buddies and go through this together! I am using a doc here in Denver so can't help you out in that department but I've heard the name a lot so I'm sure plenty of others here have used him.

Wishing you all the best on your journey!

HI Sam and welcome

I'm in on June 10th.... and theres quite a few of us with dates for June, so you're likely to find one on the same day too.

I'm still waiting to hear what my pre op diet will be - I think the not knowing is worse!!

Good luck and keep us informed

Kathy

      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! 😞
