Well I just scheduled my date- June 24 for my VS - a bit scared and worried and suppose that will only get worse the closer I get.........still trying to learn as much as I can,,,,i know its a major change.....just need to understand the impacts and what to expect so I can best deal with it. Will have my partner here, but not sure he fully understands the changes that will occur. I am 6'3 about 400 - mainly all in the gut chest - so looking forward to getting down below 250 in time.

It's all normal emotions...& yes, I'm sure they will intensify as you get closer. I wasn't scared at all...more excited! I had to jump through insurance hoops for over 6 months..so I was READY! I LOVE my sleeve, & hopefully you will too! Idk if your partner is heavy too or not....but my hubby & i have used this as a bonding experience! he needed to loose weight to, so he is eating the high Protein with me & we are loosing together! Good luck on your journey!

This is a scary decision to make for ourselves. There's the always what if we say to ourselves. I remember the first day out asking myself if I had made a good decision and decided, "Hell yes." I couldn't change it anyways. It was done and here I am with 95% of my excess weight gone! Yep it's gone..Yay... You can do this. Work on not letting your fears get the best of you..... :P

      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! 😞
