I would like to congratulate the essay winner also. Has she/he even acknowledged that they have won the essay contest. I was one of those who spilled my guts also in hopes of being the lucky winner, but thats ok, it was worth it just knowing that someone will benefit.:) And now we are all curious as to who this lucky person is and maybe alittle about them. Also curious as to how many essays were turned in. Good Luck to that lucky person and I wish them the best. I am hoping to be banded this year and looking forward to it.

Hi everyone. 11 people wrote to us, spilling their guts as some may put it. We wish we could help all of you. To all of you that would like to know who the winner is, I'm sorry they have to make that choice. I can tell you (with their permission) it is a she and she will be flying out from the mid west to spend some time with us and go over paper work. She is thinking about having her surgery by a doctor in our area, who will then give a referral to a fill MD in her area. Thank you all again and God Bless.

      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... :(
