I live in Orlando and I'm scheduled for surgery in Mexico with Dr. Alvarez on August 1st.

It's getting close, and I'm getting excited. I just wish it was over already and I was already healing. I hope your journey has gone smoothly so far. Good luck and please stay in touch.

My surgeon was Dr. Jawad he and his team were amazing!! Tomorrow I will be 7 weeks out. I was a self pay patient I went to my first consult in January and would've been done with my appointments and good to go in march, but scheduled my surgery in may because of my husbands work schedule. I took 2 weeks off work for recovery could've gone back at about 10 days with no issues! I had very little pain at all during the recovery, the worst was end of week 2 into week 3 at the large incision because my muscle was repairing itself. My husband went to Mexico for the sleeve dr. A Ortiz at OCC during my week 4. My journey has been wonderful!! If you have any questions feel free to ask!

      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... :(
