Way to go you fabulous already. I am scheduled with dr. Ponce de leon in Dec. I noticed this is where you went. Please tell me everything about your experience. I am freaking out a bit. What was it like was there pain etc... What was it like to have the drain? Is there any way out of that part? Anything you can share would be great. Keep up the great work. Can't wait to follow your success!

YAY! I had a great experience!!! the hospital staff was wonderful. I am an OR nurse in a HUGE level 1 trauma center/teaching hospital so when we drove up to INT I felt a moment of panic because it's much smaller than a typical American hospital LOL but they were wonderful there! check out my pics (the link is in my signature) and see if you can find anyone else on here who will be there at the same time as you because it was fun to be able to compare notes after the surgery. If your coordinator is Trish she will make sure you get introduced to anyone else having surgery with you :) I felt perfectly safe the whole time I was there. We had surgery Friday and on Sunday went to the Lucerna hotel and a group of us all walked over to Starbucks for juice LOL if you have any specific questions feel free to PM me!

      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!!

        So proud of you Cat. Getting into those smaller size clothes is half the fun isn't it?. Keep up the good work!!!!

      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... :(
