So I haven't posted in ages but after having been given a surgery date of 10/8/12 and then getting a call the it had been moved back to 10/15/12 I was a little disheartened. But it is tomorrow! I had to travel to a hotel tonight and leave my kids at home and I was emotional leaving. Had quite a cry. I'm going to be in the hospital until Friday or Saturday. I'm not having a sleeve... Im having a DS so it is a bit different but I'm sure some of the same emotions still apply. Driving past all the restaurants on the way up here was a little sad. I'm breaking up with food... And headed to a healthier me. Look for me tomorrow night or Tuesday.... I'll post how I'm doing. Good luck to everyone else who goes this week and thanks to all those who keep posting after theirs. It's great to have advice from people so soon out.

Prednisone delays healing because it suppresses immune system that helps inflamatory process needed to kick start healing. It won't absolutely stop your surgery. It's really up to the surgeon. Did they figure out what the rash from? I'll be praying for a good outcome.

      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?

      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... :(
