As I type this I am the next one up for surgery. I have chosen Dr. Almanza and do not regret my decision thus far. All the rumors are true, the place is small but the care is great and I am doing just fine. One thing I didn't realize is how long the wait would be from the time I got here until the actually surgery. God is so good because the young lady I have been in the pre-op room with is very sweet and her family has been in and out all day making me laugh and helping the time to pass. I came by myself, a choice that I am now glad I made. That may not be the best choice for everyone but for me I feel better knowing my Mom is safe at home and not having to entertain herself all day while I sit and listen to Spanish programming. The flight here was great! As soon I saw a priest was on board I knew I was good to go!! I chose to stay at a different hotel and got a great rate through Hotwire but another lady here today stayed at the Hampton Inn and said it was fine. I pray for success for everyone going this week. I am ready to be in recovery!!!

Said a prayer for you. Best wishes on your new sleeve. Mine was 6-15.

      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! 😞
