I'm using a Light Me too. If you look at their website you will see pics of a new hospital then pics of Cornerstone. They are using the new one. I notice that they had added to new pics so I e-mail Janese. I still need to contact Maria.

The time is going to go by so slow' date=' sorry you still have a month to go. I booked the first part of August and time has started to stand still... [/quote']

@ NWLA which website did you go to? Do you know the name of the new hospital? When I booked a cpl weeks ago Janese td me they were using cornerstone. Wonder if I can change where it's being done?

Alighterme.com, I also e-mailed her. Here's her answer, "We recently (like maybe 2 weeks ago) moved to this hospital, its beautiful from what I have been told by Dr Lopez."

I guess when you are leaving the hospital, I will be checking in. I'm flying United, the flight times were better.

So I am 95% sure I'm going with dr. Ponce de leon. I am planning my sleeving for 3/11/13. I want to try and drop 30-50 lbs 1st. Excited and anxious!! My mom has changed her mind and plans to accompany me. She still isn't a believer but she doesn't want me alone.

I am a full time student among full time everything else. I will be on Spring Break then. I cannot afford to miss school... Especially since I have to pay for it! Lol!

Don't you think you will need more time off than a week?

Idk. I will play it by ear. Fortunately I have a desk job. I was able to return to work a week after laproscopic gall bladder surgery...

      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! 😞
