Thank you very much. I finish up my pre-surgery work schedule with not too much the next two days followed by a morning of court on Wednesday before taking the afternoon off and getting ready to drive to Richmond. I'll be recovering at my parents' house in the area, and I assure you all that I will be well connected to Internet and updating you. Heck, I hope to be like some others who manage an update the evening of my surgery date!

Good luck to everyone!

I'm getting nervous, surgery on Friday 12th. I'm scheduled to see the nutritionist, surgeon, and have my breathing test on Thursday. Usually you do this 2 weeks prior to surgery. I'm sure I'll be glad to see them on Thursday and then the next morning have surgery. Only bad thing is I don't know what time on Friday my surgery is scheduled for.

Good luck to everyone else this week.

Thanks for thinking of us. I'm getting excited/nervous about tomorrow's surgery. I'm also trying to stop myself from having second thoughts. Sigh... let's just get this show on the road. Come tomorrow morning at 8 am, I'll be on the table and on my way to a new life!!

This was my comment on another post, I mean it enough to copy & paste it!

Good luck to all of you having your surgery this week... I'm so green with envy! I'm on hoop 5 of 6 that I have to jump through for insurance, ahem, oops I meant month 5 of 6 physician supervised visits, ha ha ha. Can't wait to get my date & the excitement that comes the night before that I'm sure you're all experiencing. Can't wait even more for the wonderful life that awaits after. Keep us posted we're living this experience through your words for the next few weeks.

Sad news today. My grandma passed away just last night. I'm alll the way in Louisiana and she's in Philly. Needless to say I am postponing surgery a little while. Hopefully I will be a September sleever. Good luck to everyone on their journey!

I'm so very sorry about your grandma phatgurl80, and the fact that you will need to postpone your surgery must also be very difficult. My heart goes out to you.

Thanks everyone for your thoughts and prayers! Grandma will be laid to rest shortly, but she will forever be with us in spirit. Rescheduled my surgery for the first week in September. Thanks again for everyone's kindness and I'll be sure to keep updating everyone on my Sleeve Journey.

      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!!

        So proud of you Cat. Getting into those smaller size clothes is half the fun isn't it?. Keep up the good work!!!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
