How Long After Your First Visit Did You Get Your Surgery?



Recommended Posts

The quickest through my surgeon's program is 3 months, average is 6 months to one year. I was going every week, sometimes twice, to get all the required classes in and all the required pre op appointments.

I must be one of the long waits then after reading this. My process took from October of 2011 to now. My surgery is scheduled for this coming Tuesday finally! I think I am glad it took so long, I quit smoking 5 months ago, gave up any alcohol over a month ago and also stopped caffiene 3 weeks ago. If I had to do that all at once I would have been a basket case! Especially the cigarettes and coffee! It also gave me time to really research it and make sure it was what I really wanted. I have had plenty of time to back out but I am going for it! No looking back :)

I first spoke to my Dr. about it last July. There was paperwork and initial approval in August. Then waiting list, and I just about forgot about it. In March I finally got a letter telling me it was time for 8 weeks of classes. Psych evaluation, initial meeting with the weightloss clinic and I have a final psych evaluation next week. I should get my date right after that, and surgery in July. One year. I'm glad it has been so long, I'm feeling really ready for it, but it has taken time to get my head in the game.

      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! 😞
