I did! Same surgeon' date=' I had mine 11/5/12.... Good luck![/quote']

Great! How are you doing?! My surgery is in 2 days and I'm filled with emotions right now... I was so excited to do the pre-op diet, but I have had some setbacks..... What was your experience like? How much contact did you have with the Dr? What were your stats? I'm 5'7" 380 lbs 30 yr old woman. :-)

I am doing alright, down 35lbs :) I've had a tough time accepting I can't eat like a "fat girl" anymore if that makes sense? Surgery went well, Dr said hi before I went back, checked on me the 2nd day in the hospital then saw him for my 4 week check up. My stats... Pre liquid diet 243, day of surgery 231. I'm am 32, female and 5'5...

So glad to see so many west side sleevers out there!!! I was sleeved on December 17th and trying to have a good recovery. I was very impressed with the hospital staff and the care I received. I would like to find a support group closer to home.... Maybe we can all get together and start one?

Anyone interested in meeting up soon? Maybe at friendship park in Avondale?

I could maybe once a month or something. I live in Mesa so that is quite a drive. I work in downtown Phoenix though

      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?

      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... :(
