I'm headed to the airport, on my way to San Diego, with a final destination of Mexicali!!! I'm scared, excited, nervous and tired (didn't get much sleep) all at once!! Wish me luck :D

Yep, I'm gong on my own (I was supposed to have my mom with me, but my dad got sick this weekend). Guess that's why I'm a bit nervous.

I had my surgery this afternoon (didn't think about how excruciating the wait would be when you don't go first!! Lol). In talking with Dr. Aceves.tonight, he said that I had a large amount of scar tissue on my stomach from my former lap band (got it in 2004, had it removed in 2008 because it was ruining my life). He said I made him work really hard during my surgery, because he released all the scar tissue, then removed it before actually making my sleeve. He said that not all surgeons take the time to do that. I am so overjoyed in choosing Dr. Aceves. I am hanging in there - the first day is the worst. Thank you so much for ALL the wonderful wishes of luck and positive thoughts that have been coming my way :D

Congrats! And don't forget to have fun while you're there! Ask your ordinator to take you shopping, sightseeing and maybe to the beach if you're up to it. We had a blast down there

      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... :(
