This is so encouraging...have been reading so many "not so happy" stories. I am scheduled for tomorrow and I almost don't want to come on here anymore because what I am reading is scaring me. But I also know that if I don't have the surgery that my health will continue to spiral downward...on the verge of diabetes, high cholesterol...etc with a family history of heart disease...so I know I need to lose weight but can't seem to do it on my own

Way to go girl! Keep it up and keep posting your progress it is so good for the rest of us :)

That's great! I am so anxious to get through this pre-op stuff and get approved (thinking positively).

[Gayle, good luck tomorrow]

You have to take the negatives for what they may be. Some ate regretting lifestyle changes and others because of complications. You'll have a chance to speak to your surgeon before going into the OR and I suggest you take the advice of a medical professional over a lay person. Best wishes on your surgery.

      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! 😞
