I'm sure like everyone else, I've wondered if I'm making the right decision... I went to see my primary md today for clearance and for her to review my test results from labs, etc. I was floored. I have a critically low Vitamin D level (a result of obesity) as well as sky high triglycerides - they MORE than doubled in two years. It scared me hearing the numbers, but gave me a peace about any question I had in having surgery. It's time to get healthy again.... So thankful for this opportunity!

Surgery date coming soon!

Same here. I have dangerously low Vitamin D, B12, and Iron levels. I also found out that I am pre-diabetic. :(. This just solidified my decision to have this surgery done. Now I have to jump through just a few more hoops before I can submit to insurance.

      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! 😞
