Hello all! I've been reading the forum for the past couple of months' date=' thank you all for the great advice and sharing your experiences. It's been very helpful and informative! I met with the surgeon a week ago today, my surgery date is June 26. Anyone else for June?[/quote']

I am going on June 10th. I am so excited to start this new chapter! A little nervous too because my EKG came back abnormal. I have to go see a cardiologist tomorrow. My surgeon said he wasn't too worried about it but I should go see the other Dr anyway. So I will and hope it doesn't push back my surgery date!

Oh my gosh I had the same thing. They put me out today for the EGD and when I woke up they said I need to be cleared by the Cardiologist. Scary! Let us know how it turns out. I don't have my Cardiologist appt yet.

Well tomorrow is the big day! I have to be there at 11:00 am. The nurse told me they are doing 5 tomorrow. 3 of us are spending the night because of sleep apnea. So I stopped eating at 6 pushing liquids until midnight and then nothing not even Water until surgery. I am going to be really thirsty and dry mouth going that long. I am nervous. Do I have everything ready. It's still so unreal. So hoping that this is the answer. Thanks for the support I hear from all of you,

      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... :(
