Hello Everyone,

My name is Amy. I'm 24 years old. I'm 5 feet tall and I weigh 250 lbs. I started this journey on January 3rd, thank goodness with my insurance (Blue Cross Blue Shield), I didn't have to wait the 6th month period. Yay!!! So I have completed everything and my surgery date is exactly two weeks from today, on April 11! Super excited and nervous because I have never had surgery before. I'm so happy I found this amazing site. I'm trying to get informed as much as I can before surgery so I know exactly what to expect, no surprises. But if anyone has any advice for me it will be greatly appreciated :0)

Thank you Everyone!!!!!

      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! 😞
