Hey I think I recognize you from the support fb page. When did you have your surgery? I'm super excited. Scared about the aftermath though. Do you get good pain meds and naseau meds in the hospital? I'm self pay so I'm nervous they will treat me different and just give me the basics since United Healthcare isn't footing any of the bill. That's probably stupid to think but it has crossed my mind. When did you go back to work? I'm hoping I can return the following Monday......

Hello- October 18!!! Still waiting for final ins approval, but I am not too worried about that. Also, I have to see a dermatologist for some thing they found in my throat. So excited!

I'm 47, I'm having some food funerals, and hope to loose about 10-15 lbs by my surgery date.

Hi' date=' I am Sue. I am 46 years old, two teenage daughters 16 & 14 and hubby :) I have a date of October 12th but waiting for approval from insurance. Will be having surgery with Dr. Noyan in New Jersey. I am a transcriptionist by trade and a SAHM by heart (but not pocket book) and I work from home. I sit at my computer for literally 10 hours a day, so I have become extremely out of shape besides the weight I need to lose so I plan to start walking slowly but surely. I am 277 and hope to lose 110 pounds.[/quote']

Dr Noyan did my surgery on Monday, Aug 27th. I feel fabulous today

Anyone else impatiently waiting? lol

No doubt, although I put a countdown app on my phone.... Just over a month is really not that far. I start preop in three weeks!

The countdown made it seem more real.

      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.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
