<p>Wow, Niki just found and read this entire thread this morning. I just want to add my thoughts and prayers to everyone who is thinking about you and hoping (praying) that you get not only answers but some relief soon. I'm so sorry that you have been through all of this, and really glad you have the support of your family and friends. (And Lisa I'm sending you the same prayers, hoping you get some answers to your struggles as well.)</p>

Thank you so much for the kind words and thoughts...I really appreciate it! I'm hoping that Tuesday will bring some answers and relief! I will keep you posted!

Surgery tomorrow morning. Had adrenal stimulation test this morning but no results yet. I guess I have to wait and find out if my endo doctor ordered them for my surgeon already. I'm nervous and anxious...more this time than ever before. There's something about that word "exploratory" surgery that I just can't shake. :(. Talk to you all in the other side...surgery is at 10 am.

Great news all! They found a kink In my small intestine and fixed it! Pain right now from surgery but no more pain after that! Yay me!!! I'm so excited that they finally found what was wrong with me and repaired it!!!

On the flip side, still don't know about the Addison's disease but I have another appt with the endo doctor next week so I will find out! My bp is really low here in the hospital 84/42...they gave me steroids and a bolus to help with that.

So a night here in the hospital and we'll go from here! Thanks for all the prayers and well wishes!

      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! 😞
