Kristen, I just hope that we are able to speak to each other. You will be in the hospital having surgery on the 7th? The day I arrive. You should still be there when I get to the hospital. Yes, I will see you in the hallway.

Hi Kristin125! I am flying out of Wisconsin on May 8th, and being sleeved on May 9th at Mi hospital with the same Dr. I am not good at all with navigating around this forum! I could sure use some tips!

Looks like our dates are one after another. At least we will all be there at the same time. I am very nervous about it. Only had surgery once. Dread the pre op diet for two weeks. I wonder how people survive? I will find out.

I am really nervous as well! I don't think the pre-op diet will be that bad! I'm just looking at it as the beginning of this journey. Honestly, I'm nervous about post op! Just don't want to screw up!

I am flying in on May 6 and having my surgery that day. I am having it done at the florence, 2 nights in the hospital then off to the Marriott for 3 days. Not sure if you ladies are staying at the Marriott as well, but if you are maybe we could meet up.

I will also be at the Marriott, but I have my surgery on the 7th. I'm sure we can walk around together once we are all at the Marriott.

I'm flying out May 7th and getting sleeved May 8th with Dr. Lopez. But I'm freaking out about complications and slow weight loss and people not having any restriction on their eating 3 months after surgery, etc. I might call it a day and just not go.

Nope no calling it a day. You can do this. We all can. We all deserve this. To reclaim our lives.

Flying out May the 7th also. Surgery on the 8th. Everytime I get scared, I think about staying in this body and how bad I am going to continue feeling with being on 2x blood pressure medicine instead of one. As I get older, I see my body go south on me. I have a low BMI but every year I put on that much more weight. I find myself looking in the closet at the clothes that I should be wearing. No more excuses. I am bound to TJ when my turn comes up. Trust me that no one is as scared as I am.

Lets do this together Cerenatee!

I know right? I'm freaking out but I'm still in, for the moment anyway. I know others have been through what I'm going through and it'll be ok. I think.

Girl I'm scared, lol. But I keep forgetting you're going to be there too. That does make me feel 1000 times better.

Have you signed up for the Facebook support group yet? I tried to sign up for the May 2013 one but she never added me. Which is sad cause we're going to go through the same things around the same time so it would be great to be on FB together. However, the general FB people are awesome and they have shown all kinds of love. If you haven't checked it out, the link to the VST post is below. You just have to request to join and she'll approve you within a day.

      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... :(
