How Many Times Did You...



Recommended Posts

completely chicken out before that all important flight to Mexico? Did you have a fear of failure with this surgery? I'm vacillating between being excited and being too scared to get on the plane. My surgery is on Nov. 19th.

None for me, I booked the surgery 3 weeks ago, and I'm having it on sunday :) Purposefully booked it fast so I wouldnt' have time to second guess myself too much!

Yay for you! I'm using Dr. Ponce also. Will you be able to post on the forum while you're there? Hope so! Will be thinking of you.

I canceled twice with my first surgeon before making the final appointment with Dr Ortiz and actually getting the surgery. :D

I never really feared my surgery. I guess I knew it was my oportunity to get the weight off once and for all. Once my surgeon walked in the room to meet with me, I was totally at ease, I was ready! Best thing I have done for myself and my health!

I was sleeved 10/8, and i am currently 3.5 weeks out. Doing great, recovery has been easy, and no complaints with the clinic.

Good luck with your surgery, soon you'll be a loser. :D

Ah it didn't go at all :( My flight to San Diego was cancelled for some reason (they wouldn't say), the next flight was full, and then Sandy was shutting down the airports so I wasn't able to get to the west coast. Had to reschedule, new date is Nov 8th.

Oh Hazelsmrf,

I'm so sorry that happened. Very disappointing, I'm sure. But they say that everything happens for a reason. Wish you could have rescheduled for Nov. 19 and be there with me. From what Trish said, he has no other surgeries that day.:)

      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
