Recommended Posts

I just got my date this afternoon, July 17th with Dr garcia! Im super excited!! Im also a little freaked out because I have to go by myself. Hubby is staying home with the kids and all of the close people in my life are working or I have yet to tell them.. im being really picky on who I tell because people are so opinionated and don't take into consideration peoples feelings anymore, or we get the why cant you just diet and excersize... I did.. about 100 times and obviously its not working lol My friend had her sleeve done in January and she is so pleased.. now its my turn. I cant wait to buy a pair of jeans that is a single digit size! Any July buddies??

So u get to stay at a hospital? I like that idea better than a recovery house and being brought back and forth in a van for pain meds.. Lol how much are you paying for your sleeve? I know dr. Almanza is 4500.00

yes, well the first night pre- op is at hotel, then 2 nights at Hospital MI, thats the name of the hospital, then 2 more nights at hotel. I cant imagine going back and forth in a van and staying at a house.. im sure its going to be fine for you but I feel more comfy at hotel/ hospital. Dr Garcia is $5000 for everything but airfare to SanDeiago. I think its worth the extra $500 for comfort and stability. But who am I to talk, I haven't gone yet :) Ask me in a month .. :)

The spider is when they go in and make one incision to do the surgery to other way to to make about four incisions

I have not heard about the spider method either. I will be going by myself too. I did ask a friend yesterday and she was receptive to the idea but has to clear the time at work.. we will find out tomorrow. Crossing my fingers!!

      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!!

      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! 😞
