Tomorrow is my first step in what I am calling " The Start of the new me!!!" I am a little a nervous to be put to sleep but you gotta do what you gotta do. I am so excited to finally be taking these steps. I have my first nutrition appointment at the end of the month and my only psych appointment is scheduled for August. I hope my excitement last the 6 months I have to wait. I just wanna do this and be done already. Here goes nothing !!!!

I just got home from my endo about 15 minutes ago. The only thing I can report is a major headache but they said that's due to me being a coffee drinker. So the told me to do home and have a cup if coffee, eat and take a nap. It was very short. I checked in at 8:15. Got called back at 8:20. I was wheeled into the room at 9:07 and was awake sitting with my husband in recovery at 9:28. Very short. All was good. Good luck to the rest if you. Keep posting on your progress.

I was really nervous. My book pressure was high. But trust me it was nothing. They said I would be really tired when I got home and should take it easy. I am home at my desk doing some work. Good luck but its a breeze.

I will finish my last nut in December. I am figuring by the time the doctor completes my work and submits it, it may be Feb. I wish it was tomorrow.

my neice had the sleeve in march and did NOT have to have one. My landlord had the band and did get one. I guess it depends in the surgeon. I wish i didnt have to do this, but i guess i have to make sure all my parts are in working order

I had my endoscopy on Thursday. Just as quick as they wheeled me in they wheeled me out. It was a breeze! I have my last appt on Aug 1 with my dietician and I'm done. All of my other testing was already completed. She said I'm looking at the first week of September for surgery. She also said it should take anymore then a few days to get approved. My BMI is 48. Started out at 326 I'm now down to 301

I had my first appointment with my surgeon on Thursday. Endoscopy is August 15th, as well as my first nutritional appointment. I'm having to drive 320 miles away for my appointments. Minus the Psych eval, which I can have in my area. I don't really have a waiting time. Mine is just getting all the bases covered and losing 30lbs. As soon as its all checked off, then they'll submit the approval to insurance which they claim can take 30 to 35 days then surgery is scheduled.

      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... :(
