I'm hoping to get April 20th as well with Dr. Perez! Or verboonen, Haven't made the final decision yet :( Can I ask who you booked through? I was dealing with Ronda from alighterme, but she is trying her darnedest to deter me from Cancun. I started talking to Sheri from International Patient Facilitators.

Carina,

Thank you for your post on my blog---I responded to it, but I did it as a comment instead of a reply, so I didn't think it would notify you.....so I am reposting here!

So funny that we have so many things in common! I would love to keep in contact with you and share our experience. Let me know when and if you end up scheduling for Cancun! Where will you be coming from?

I have the appointment scheduled with Dr. Perez as of a few hours ago for the 20th as well. Looks like we'll be sleeve buddies :) I will be coming from Orlando, although I haven't found a non-stop flight yet. That's my weekend assignment - book the flight! I can't wait! And I'm even more excited now that I have a name and face of someone who is just as crazy and determined to be the knockout that is hidden beneath these pounds! My birthday is the 30th so I got an extra 2 weeks to lose a few more pounds ;)

That's awesome! Congratulations on getting scheduled! It's REAL now, isn't it? Let's definitely keep in contact, and I will plan to meet up with you in Cancun! Are you planning on bringing someone with you? My husband will be coming with me, and having surgery as well. (his 40th is Nov. 21! LOL!) We got our flights scheduled this week...no directs from Indiana :( Do you have kids? I have a 12, 14, and 17 year old......which makes me so scared of something going wrong, but I am still trying to focus on the good that will come from this WHEN it all works out! We are gonna ROCK our 40th birthdays aren't we?!? I'm starting to make my packing list......can't wait!

I am bringing my mother and my 17 year old son. So I definitely understand your worry about kids. I'm all he has and whether he would ever admit it or not, he'd be lost without me. He wanted to come and I was apprehensive because I tend to be a "worst case scenario" planner. Thankfully my mom agreed to come along as well.

Enough sappy sadness... you are so right... We ARE gonna rock this next birthday!!! So funny that your hubby is between our birthdays! I am loving this trip already!

      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! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.
