Well, a few more days to go. Seems like I am eating more than usual. Trying to maintain and not gain. it's not going so good. I'm nervous and excited at the same time. A weird feeling.

Yes, I can really relate to the 'nervous & excited' feeling. I'm on the 19th, also. I've calmed down a lot since I spoke wih my surgeon but still..... This is a big step for moi and I'm scared but I'm determined. Hold fast!

I raved about this website to the practice manager at Dr. Owen's office & she was so enthused when she went here & saw what you folks do. She's going to recommend this to their patients. I'm very grateful for the helpful hints about things to take to the hospital (I've made a list of stuff that multiple folks have said was beneficial). Down 12 lbs. so far on the Liquid Protein pre-op diet. Dr. Owens should be happy with that when he sees me on the table next Wed! Thanks for this site, it's been SO helpful for me. Mary

Thanks! It's off to hospital, leave the house by 7am at the latest to be in City of Orange by 8am. Surgery at 10. Bless Dr. Owens, he put me first. Whew. More when I am home & feeling like being social.

My best to all the 10/19-ers!

Mary

I was trolling thru your posts...was wondering...you are from Covington. Where did you have your surgery? I'm planning on having mine in Baton Rouge. Was hoping to find someone who is familiar with the area...my doc and such.

Hi MsDebi, I had my surgery at Fairway Medical Center in Covington. It was done by Dr. Lavin of the Surgical Specialists of Louisiana. I think they have an office in Baton Rouge. I would strongly recommend him. If I can answer any questions for you let me know.

Pat

      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.

        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... :(
