I got my surgery date today April 15! I bought all the stuff they wanted me to buy. Protein powders' date=' Vitamins, Protein Shots etc. It came to 328!! OMG I hope this will last me for awhile. I don't like paying so much but I will do whatever they want to have the surgery. I am so excited. I can't believe I am really doing this after thinking about this for so long. Good luck to all of the April sleevers.[/quote']

Good luck to you, too !

I'm scheduled for April 11th or 22nd...got approval from Insurance in one day! WOW...the Doctors office is so full that now I have to wait until April. But that's OK I am just super excited that I am done with all pre-certs! :) On the other hand I am a little nervous. There is no turning back now....this is the start of my new life! :D

Because that's when it was, they moved it up due to a severe hernia. And that's just fine by me. ;-). And I don't know how to change it... LOL

I got my date today APRIL 17 .

Of course I am nervous but I have to do this for myself.

My husband is supportative but today he said if it were him he would not do it.

He does not want to tell me it is a good thing in case I complain later and blame him for any problems.

Lets do this all together and make friends throough this new journey. I have never like to travel alone.

I don't have a husband or a boyfriend, and I usually like to travel alone but this time I need people. I'm lucky that I have the support of most of my friends and family, but I'm a little heartbroken that my mom wants nothing to do with it. I asked her if she'd be here for my surgery (she lives 90 minutes away) and she said, "Oh, that's a Wednesday? I probably have to work that day." SHE WORKS FOR MY BROTHER IN LAW, who would be MORE than willing to give her time off to come and be with me. Ugh.

Well, my mom is encouraging me but is 85 so she can not come.

I have not told any friends because of all the questions.

I am planning to tell my children on Easter sunday when they are both in my hometown.

I am in Louisiana and doing this as private pay. I am 63 years old and weigh 234 pounds and am 5 fee tall.

      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.

      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! 😞
