Mine was 7 months out. If it hadn't been for me finding out I had sleep apnea at 4 months in, i would have been sleeved at 4 months.

It really depends on your appointments. Start the program, push for classes ASAP

I guess it depends where you live because I'm in Los Angeles CA and just finished my class on the 5th but my bestfriend finished her class in July and had surgery 3 weeks to 4 weeks later!!!

Kaiser Fresno. I took along time with my classes but once I got them finished, all I had to do was reach my goal weight and then I was scheduled, like, 2 weeks after meeting that goal weight. I was told by the psych who approved me that there is hardly any wait because most people get to the point where they have to lose their pre-surgery weight and they are unsuccessful.

      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! 😞
