Hi Everyone.

I am new to this site, and thought it would be nice to introduce myself. My name is Marisol. I am a 37 year old latina from sunny San Diego but currently live in Los Angeles. I am a wife, a mommy, and a craftster. I am 12 days away from having a VSG through Kaiser West LA. My Surgeon will be Dr. Benjamin Kim

With the day rapidly approaching the emotions are high and all over the place but I am looking forward to the start of a new and healthier life. Looking forward to getting to know all of y'all.

Thanks!

Nice to meet you and welcome. My surgery was with Kaiser Fontana 11 weeks ago and everything has gone smooth. No regrets - excited that I am 60 down from starting this journey! We have a great So Cal support group on here that meets in person on a Sat. morning every 2 months if you want to join us.

Hello MerrySoul678,

Good luck on your surgery. I'm still dealing with insurance but know it will all be worth it :)

      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! 😞
