I am excited but scared. I have a lower BMI and many feel I could/should be able to lose without the surgery. I just keep thinking what if something goes wrong???

I understand your concern. I'm a mom of 2 and though my husband is supportive I know he's worried. I just keep telling myself that I'm doing this for all the right reasons. About what people are saying, I have a bmi of 40 but I carry my weight fairly well. People have also told me they thought I could/should do it without the surgery. But, they don't know my struggle. Not in the deep, intimate way that i do. They are saying that on limited info. We have to do what is right for us because this is so personal. We both will do great!

Yeah. Thanks for the encouragement. I know you are right. I think I will feel better when this is all over and all is well.

I'm 5am Pacific Standard Time so though I'm the first of the day for my surgeon it's likely you all will be ahead of me. :)

      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! 😞
