I broke down and called the insurance. I was approved. Now maybe my blood pressure will go down.

Congrats to everyone who has been banded this week! I hope you all feel better. This is my 4th day of liquid pre-op diet. I've been doing okay with it, but today I have had a horrible headache. I've lost 6 pounds tho, so that's good. I didn't think this week was ever going to end. This weekend will fly by as weekends always do and then I only have one more day at work. Surgery Tuesday! So ready to get on with my life!

Gee I have insurance and I've already paid my 640.00 deductible and had to pay the hospital1500.00 my 20 percent. I don't know why I thought this was going to be 2000.00 without insurance!

Still feeling achy, bloated and gassy. How long does this last? Eating and drinking going OK. Got about 42 oz of liquid diet in today and 43 g Protein, not too bad post op day 3.

I'm going home today. The stay at the hospital has not been pleasant. Never really got restful sleep. And the complications w swallowing made things a bit miserable. I'm off the iv. Its all up to me and that's helped push additional liquids. I'm a little light headed and when I get home I'm allowed to have some Water w juice. Really looking forward to having something other than this to occupy my attention. I'm in the what was I thinking stage. I'm sure it will pass. Thanks for the prayers. They worked.

      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! 😞
