Introducing Myself!



Recommended Posts

Hello everyone,

I am new to this site. I have been browsing around for a bit, and wasnt sure if I officially wanted to post something yet or wait until I officially have a surgery date. but here i go.... I live in southern Ca, and have Kaiser, so i am currently going through the 12 week class, keeping my fingers crossed throughout the way that I get approved in the end. I see tons of great success stories and cannot wait until i am in that group and sharing my before and after pictures with everyone.

Just a little about myself. I am 31 years old, weigh 245. I have Trichotillomania which if anyone doesnt know it is a hair puling disorder. I use to have long curly hair and now am left pretty much with NONE. I know this sleeve has nothing to do with my hair pulling but i pray every night that it may help me in the end.

I will be around going through peoples pictures so please don't mind me.. Im not a stalker just love to see everyone's success...

Thank you everyone for taking time to read!

You will find a lot of nice people here. I haven't had my surgery yet either. I just now going thru the surgery pre-D phase. I have to do the 90 day thing before I can have surgery. You don't have to be post op to belong to the site. You can get a lot of pre op advice and support along your journey. Especially when the date draws nearer and you start getting excited and worried at the same time. Good Luck and Welcome

      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! 😞
