I'm ready! Mine is going to happen on 10/7 in Barranquilla, Colombia by Dr. Cure. I will be going back home to Chicago on the 12th where I can hope to meet some weight loss buddies or maybe join a group.

Okay, it's been a while since I posted. Thought I was going to have surgery next year due to varying changes in circumstance. Well, I continued my plan with seeing the nutritionist and physician for my required 6 months as dictated by insurance. All of a sudden things are falling in place. I finished my visits, it is submitted to insurance and I am scheduled to meet with my surgeon and sign papers THIS THURSDAY, the 10th! Hopefully, we will hear positive results from insurance and I will, in fact, be an October sleever!

If anyone has suggestions as to questions for the surgeon that they are asking, or more importantly, wish they had asked, please send 'em along. I have a list, but it is in constant edit mode.

Hope to have a date soon!

Yes I am. Kind of in a tilt but I have my drain in too. Thankfully I have a million pillows on the hotel bed, so I'm sleeping sitting up too. {)i(} Sent from my iPhone using VST {)i(}

I am scheduled for October 8th. I have pushed this off 3x to make sure that this is what I really want to do. Family & friends have mixed feelings but ultimately' date=' its me. I've been big my entire life. God is transforming me spiritually & mentally. The surgery is the physical part of my transformation. Just like anything else when dealing with God, I'm walking out on faith. I'm new to this forum so let me know how it goes for you.[/quote'].

How did it go, Cokie? I hope you finally went through with it!

      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! 😞
