Welcome Gabbott3. This site will help ease your nerves. You've found a site with many upbeat individuals who are happy to help with any questions you may have. I'm not sure how much you have viewed but so far everything I wondered about before I found this site has been answered in only a few weeks of viewing the many areas. Now prepare your self for unlimited knowledge regarding the vertical sleeve. The one thing I keep telling myself is that everyone's story is unique to the individual. Just because someone else loses more weight than you means nothing. You will lose at your body's pace. Best recommendation anyone can take is to follow YOUR doctor's directives.

That's awesome news! This site has been a wonderful counterbalance to the negative Nancy's "out there" who will tell you how their sister's friend's uncle's fiancé had the same thing done and it didn't help her one bit! Or they just go straight to the 'easy way out' statement.

This group has been such a godsend and has kept my drive to actually do this up. When I get down about this small lull in the process or have a discussion that is disheartening, I come here and read all these wonderful posts from some pretty wonderful people.

      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! 😞
