I met with the cardiologist today. Had a resting EKG. I go in next week for a resting stress test and the next day a pharmacological stress test. I'm having bilateral scans of my legs tomorrow. I think that's it. I'll keep my fingers crossed.

Well, I have had an Amazon credit toward a Kindle purchase since March, so guess what I just used it on? I can't wait to start reading!

I received my book a couple weeks ago. My daughter was under the weather last weekend, so while she took a four hour nap, I read -almost nonstop.

This weekend I'm not feeling well, so I had more time to read (in between naps).

I'm just about done and love it. Easy read and I like how it takes us from A-Z.

By the way, I bought another book from Amazon (on gastric sleeve) . it was highly rated but I put it down to ready this one.

Thank you.

I bought the big book on the Gastric Sleeve (Kindle version), and it has been a great help!! I read more and more each night in preparation for my gastric sleeve surgery. I want to learn all I can about the surgery, pre-op, post-op, etc. I got some new kitchen gadgets to help me with my post-op (life long) diet too---mainly a mini food processor. Thanks for all the great info!! :)

I am still waiting for my dietition appointment (already set for the middle of this month) and my patient education class. By then, hopefully, I'll have all the other pre-surgery workups done. Waiting for appointment for the initial EGD too. Not worried about that part of it, since I've been thru those before.

I've been assigned to Dr. Aragon with the KC Bariatric Surgery Center on Prairie Star Parkway in Lenexa, KS. I did not see his name in the Surgeon's area of the profile page. He is a new doctor there, and works with Dr. Hoehn and Dr. Hamilton there.

      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! 😞
