Recommended Posts

Woot woot woot woot.... I got my date and flights booked. Arrival 2/4/13, surgery 2/5/13 and I don't have to go alone anymore. My god friend and her mom is going with me. I am super excited and nervous all at the same time.... Just wanna scream for fear and joy. My emotions are all over the place right now. But it'll be worth it in the end.... I still would like to be support buddies with you guys. Keep in touch etc.

Okay I will, I can say that I had to have alma construct me a letter from Dr. Garcia to give to my HR. I have been off so I won't know what's up until tommorow. But I will. Inbox me so that I won't forget.

Hey Everyone' date=' I am also going with Dr. Fernando Garcia, aiming for a Feb 2013 date as well. I have been speaking with him an his staff for over a week now and am pretty confident in my decision. BUT, I have to most likely go alone. Which I REALLY REALLY REALLY don't want to do that. SOOOO, I was hoping there would be someone(persons) that wouldn't mind "buddying" up through this process. I live in the Washington DC/ surrounding areas. So it would be lovely if someone from this area is considering him during the same time. But anywhere is okay I just don't wanna do this alone. If that's cool with anyone we can go through it ll together. If interested let me know what dates because I haven't scheduled yet. Maybe we can exchange contact info.[/quote']

Yea I was all prepared to go alone. But the moment I narrowed in on a date I started having a panic attack. And lucky me my friend wanted to go with me.

      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! 😞
