Hi just to give an update: I was not able to be sleeved. :( they found a stomach mass and nodules on my liver and spleen. So far this surgery saved my life... Ok that's the happy note. The part I'm really P'd off about is my biggest fear came true when I woke up and was told it could not be done at this point. My surgeon is AWSOME and said in 2-3 months we can try again!

He removed the mass since it was right where he needed to makeup sleeve. We are wiring in pathology to come back on the nodules and I have to have a liver biopsy today... I'm scared out of my mind.

The mass was not cancer thank God! Just trying to figure out what the other things are!

I hope everyone is doing well' one day ill see you on the other side of thin'

Doing great! Overdid it today a bit. Went out shopping for a few hours and didn't hydrate very well but relaxing now and sipping a Protein Shake. Going back to work tomorrow and hope to make it a full day.

You need to get your liver checked out prompto! I am happy you are going to get the lipid panel done. Can you think of anything that might have contributed to "the yellow eyes"?

      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... :(
