It gets way better. I am so happy that I did it. Yes Protein will help. Don't stress if you don't get all your liquids in right now. It gets better. Make sure to take your Vitamins in the morning or you have more of a chance to be up all night. Not real sure why but it happens...

Oh... Go buy a hair catcher for the shower. You will start to shed more hair

Hi everyone. I live in Mcalester. I met with Dr. Kirk at Bailey back in the fall. Then before Christmas, my insurance turned me down.

But, my mind was made up by that point that I wanted the surgery. Since I'm now self-pay, I've decided to go to Mexico. I'll be having my surgery in three weeks with Dr. Garcia.

Anybody else fail the sleep study?? : (

All I have left to do is the chest X-ray and pft. There has been some confusion over who is supposed to order those done between Dr. Kirk & Dr. Lewis' offices though. Really hoping my apnea isn't too bad so I can still have surgery in the next few weeks!

Most of us would fail a sleep study. Dr Kirks office ordered my pft. I had my chest xray done at my office

I had my chest xray and pft and ekg all done the same day over at the hospital. I think everyone flunks the sleep study. What I understood was that they set the limits so low on the study that everyone has sleep apnea for insurance approval. I didn't pass it either. You will get your machine, use it for 2 weeks, then you will take the card out the back of the machine in for them to get a print out of it. Just make sure you use it at least 4 hours a night for the 2 weeks. That's all they require before your surgery. You'll be fine. When are you wanting to have your surgery, Mollie?

I love my machine. I've had it for about a year and it has helped me sleep better that I was before. And since I have lost some weight I don't need it turned up so high

I ended up with Dr.Varnell and he did my egd last Tuesday. Dr.kirks office said that they wanted Dr. Lewis' office to take over the pft and chest X-ray orders and when I called both his offices they say no, he just does the sleep study orders. So I'm kinda waiting for that confusion to get worked out before i call them again for my app. I really wanted to have surgery the 13th or 20th, ,but I guess Dr.Lewis went out of the country for 2wks so he's not getting thru the results as fast. : / Just my luck. I have my surgeon pre-op app tomorrow so I hope dr. Lewis can lmk so I can go ahead with my date!

Everything is going good. Can't do the Protein Shakes. They are so nasty and make me feel so sick. I think I will just have to get my Protein from food. Other than that I am doing great. Thanks for asking and good luck to you. Please keep me posted on your progress!

      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?

      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! 😞

        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... :(
