Hi everyone,

All I can think about is the surgery, I am getting surgery on Nov 23rd I have already got my plane tickets and I have put my $500.00 down and I am getting the sleeve, I still am thinking I should get the plication I dont know I have worried my self sick,

I just cant figure out what surgery would be best for me and then I am so scared to get the surgery, I have got only a month 1/2 and I have to break some big habits like smoking, and pepsi, they are going to be the biggest most hardest things to break.

Also I have now started thinking what have I done?? I cant beleive I am actually going to Mexico for MAJOR SURGERY!!

I am so worried that my stomach is killing me and I dont know why there is a line under my writing eather.

I hope I am making a good decision I have 5 kids that I love and they need there mom. Im just scared and worried

My next appt. with my surgeon is on the 4th of Nov. so I am hoping at that point since I'll have all pre-op appointments done she'll give the go ahead and I'll get a date, hopefully also in Nov!!! We are traveling for Christmas the year (first time in MANY years!) and I would like to be a little more "able" by that point! LOL

I've already bought my tickets too! I've already paid my deposit too! I'm in the same boat as you, lol. But, I don't have that cool line under my sentences. We'll be fine. You've made a great decision. We can be worried together and relieved together when it's over. :)

iHi Danielle

Thank you for your reply, I am still worried but I know I got to do this.

When do you go for your surgery??

Who is doing your sleeve?

Maybe we are going at the same time and same place

that would be good.

Well this is going to be a short note cause I am almost late for

work.

I will talk to you soon!

Have a great day!

I'm scheduled for mid-November and I'm NERVOUS!

I hope I'm making the right decision. I've tried every diet out there so I feel it's either this or remain fat forever.

My concern comes from the surgery and not waking up. I have small children and I can't help but think a fat mom is better than no mom at all. Then on the other hand I want to be a thin, active mom and set a good example. Eeeek!

Sorry to ramble....

I am scheduled for November 22nd with Dr. Davidson at the Bariatric Surgery Center in Dallas, Texas at Presbyterian Hospital (unfortunately my insurance doesn't cover the forest park medical center - I know lots of people liked the staff there). My pre-op begins November 10th. I will know more then.

Welcome, Joe. I didn't realize that there were any other surgeons in NJ doing the sleeve besides Dr. Washington. You're less than a month away. Have you started the pre-op diet yet?

I was first scheduled for November 1st and now it's up in the air between November 1st, 5th or 9th...it all depends on my surgeon's schedule, which I will hopefully find out next week sometime. I'm so excited (and nervous and scared)...

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      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! 😞
