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 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! 😞
