Recommended Posts

I havn't narrowed down which date i'm going with.. i guess it depends if i decide to pay the expedite fee for my husband and I's passports. Going to apply for them today.. anyone recently have to apply for a passport? How long did it take to get? Was it the full 6 weeks to process? So excited for this day to finally get here.. been a lurker for way too long... :-)

I haven't recently done it, but I remembered that ours came rather quickly. Just triple check the paperwork to avoid missed errors :) I'd go ahead and schedule the earlier date, Anaid told me, as long as you rescheduled 7 days before surgery, there would be no problems. Good luck!

Everyone I've talked to says it takes 4-6 weeks but my friend applied for hers in December and got it in a couple weeks! Good luck. I apply for mine Monday. Already have my picture and had to wait on birth certificate.

well hoping i get mine soon.. i'd rather go with the earlier date.. the sooner i can get going with this the better.. more time i have to get used to my new tummy before i have this big graduation party for my son.

I am having mine around May 11th with Dr. Kelly. I am waiting to see what his availability is during that time (I don't get out of school until May 10).

My hubby wants to go, and I'm not against it, but I will either bring our aunt, or a friend, or just come by myself...

      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... :(
