Going to be Sept. sleever!



Recommended Posts

I had a consult with Dr. Veninga yesterday and was pleased with the info & him. So I scheduled surgery for Sept.8th. I will be starting my pre-op diet on the 25th! That should be interesting. The nurse did say that if I really needed food to have 1 sm salad and chicken or steak. I'm excited to see how much weight I can loose in that 2wk period.

They showed me a video of the surgery which I had been trying to avoid, and now after seeing it, it still kinda freaks me out that I'm going to be going through that?!

I'm also wondering about follow up care in the future with my PCM. I'm self pay for this surgery & not going through Tricare. Will he be able to order all my labwork & stuff? Oh and also the Dr. gave me Rx to fill wondering if I take it into the pharmacy at the MTF if they will fill it? I'm so excited/nervous to begin this new journey!

      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! 😞
